Life of Emmeline Pankhurst: The Suffragette Struggle for Women's Citizenship

The Life of Emmeline Pankhurst: The Suffragette Struggle for Women's Citizenship is a biographical account of one of the most influential figures in the women's suffrage movement. Written by Emmeline Pankhurst's own daughter, E. Sylvia Pankhurst, the book chronicles the life and activism of Emmeline Pankhurst, from her early years as a political activist to her leadership of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and her tireless efforts to secure voting rights for women in Britain.Through a combination of personal anecdotes and historical analysis, E. Sylvia Pankhurst offers a vivid portrait of her mother's life and work, including her imprisonment and hunger strikes, her speeches and rallies, and her strategic use of civil disobedience and direct action. Along the way, the book provides a broader perspective on the suffrage movement as a whole, exploring the political and social context in which it emerged, the various strategies and tactics employed by suffragettes and suffragists, and the wider impact of the movement on women's rights and citizenship.Written with passion, insight, and a deep understanding of the subject matter, The Life of Emmeline Pankhurst is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of women's rights and the struggle for gender equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
