USA WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE EMMELINE PANKHURST

Editorial use only .Emmeline Pankhurst in New York City. British suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) addressing a crowd at a suffragette meeting on Wall St, New York City, USA. Pankhurst was a political activist and leader of the British suffragette movement, and is best known for helping to win the right to vote for women in the UK. She founded the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women suffrage advocacy organisation dedicated to 'deeds, not words'. Although widely criticised for encouraging the group's militant tactics, which included physical confrontations such as smashing windows and assaulting police officers, she is recognised as being instrumental in achieving women's suffrage in Britain. Photographed on 27th November 1911. (KEYSTONE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/LIBRARY OF CONGRESS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY)

GROSSBRITANNIEN SUFFRAGETTE EMMELINE PANKHURST

Emmeline Pankhurst deposit her vote after the 1910 woman right to vote. Emmeline Pankhurst, tireless campaigner on the vote for women and founder of the 'Women's social And Political Union' in 1903. The suffragette movement had it's origins in the 19th century, nationwide social discontent naturally spread to women's rights and with the aid of John Stuart Mill and The Pankhursts, the movement gained momentum by the end of the century. The opposition of Gladstone and Queen Victoria (who considered women to be of weak minds) did much to impede the course of history but this did not deter the suffragettes, whose militant branch set about hunger strikes, riots, chaining themselves to rails, and even death (in the case of Emily Davidson who deliberately jumped infront of the King's horse at the Derby) to get the voice they so deserved. The franchise was finally given partially in 1918, and fully in 1928. (KEYSTONE/RUE DES ARCHIVES/TAL)
