About

Emmeline Pankhurst was born in Manchester, England. She was a British activist and leader of the British suffragette movement who helped women win the right to vote. She was widely criticised for her militant tactics, and historians disagree about their effectiveness, but her work is recognised as a crucial element in achieving women's suffrage in Britain. Her autobiography, My Own Story, appeared in 1914.
