Emmeline Pankhurst Day

Emmeline Pankhurst (born July 14, 1858) was the most prominent campaigner for women's right to vote and was transformed into a popular heroine of the early twentieth century. Early in life she was attracted to socialism, then she grew into an entrenched and militant suffragette and ended up as a Conservative Party candidate. Jailed 15 times during her struggles, Pankhurst died in 1928 - just weeks after the Representation of the People Act established voting equality for men and women.
