Emmeline Pankhurst 1858-1928
In
1889,
Emmeline founded the Women's Franchise League,
which
fought to allow married women to vote in local elections.
In
October 1903,
she helped found the more militant Women's Social and Political
Union (WSPU)
- an
organisation that gained much notoriety for its activities
and
whose members were the first to be christened 'suffragettes'.
Emmeline's daughters Christabel and Sylvia were both active in the cause.
British politicians, press and public were astonished
by
the demonstrations, window smashing, arson and hunger strikes of the
suffragettes.
In
1913,
WSPU member Emily Davison was killed
when
she threw herself under the king's horse at the Derby
as a
protest at the government's continued failure to grant women the right to vote.
[ . .
. ]
In
1918,
the
Representation of the People Act gave voting rights to women over 30.
Emmeline died on 14 June 1928,
shortly after women were granted equal voting rights with men (at 21).
