Beschreibung

Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) was a British political activist and leader of the British suffragette movement who helped women win the right to vote. In 1999 Time named Pankhurst as one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century, stating "she shaped an idea of women for our time; she shook society into a new pattern from which there could be no going back". She was widely criticized for her militant tactics, and historians disagree about their effectiveness, but her work is recognized as a crucial element in achieving women's suffrage in Britain. Pankhurst founded the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women suffrage advocacy organization dedicated to "deeds, not words". Pankhurst, her daughters, and other WSPU activists received repeated prison sentences, where they staged hunger strikes to secure better conditions. This edition brings to you the powerful autobiography of this courageous woman in celebration of the undying spirit of freedom, equality and woman power. "Women are very slow to rouse, but once they are aroused, once they are determined, nothing on earth and nothing in heaven will make women give way; it is impossible."- Emmeline Pankhurst

Über den Autor

Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) was an English political activist and suffragette. She founded the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1903, an all-female organisation that advocated for women's suffrage. For forty years, she battled for women's rights, staging hunger strikes and receiving multiple prison sentences for her often violent protests. In July 1928, just weeks after her death, the UK government granted women over the age of 21 the right to vote. Her work was a crucial factor in achieving this feat.
