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.
