Suffragette:
My Own Story
The Origins of the Suffragettes
By
Emmeline Pankhurst
Originally published as
My Own Story in 1914,
Emmeline Pankhurst's autobiography chronicles the beginnings of her interest in feminism through to her militant and controversial fight for women's right to vote.
Emmeline was a leader of the British suffrage movement in a critical era - the early 1900's - and helped women win the right to vote. Although reviled by many for the violent tactics that she eventually adopted, including arson, she was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 Most Important People of the 19th Century.
At the age of 14 a meeting of women's rights activists sparked a lifelong passion in her to fight for women's freedom and she would later claim that it was on that day she became a suffragist. As one after another of the proposed feminist bills were defeated in parliament, Pankhurst was inspired to turn to extreme actions.
Emmeline Pankhurst's story is a record of one woman's tireless advocacy for the sake of countless others.
