Emmeline Pankhurst is one of the most influential and well-known British women to have 

ever lived. She fought tirelessly for women to have the vote.

She was imprisoned several times, and went on hunger strike many times.

Having failed to make any impression on parliamentarians for nearly thirty

years, she became an advocate of Direct Action. The suffragettes threw stones

at politicians, set fire to letter boxes, torched buildings and chained themselves

to railings. Although the Suffragettes were eventually successful, many brave

women suffered terribly during the fight. Emmeline was not universally

popular. Many women believed that if the suffragettes had been less

confrontational, the vote for women might have come much quicker.
