Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst, English suffragette, early 20th century
Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst, English suffragette, early 20th century. Born in Manchester from a Radical political background, Emmeline Goulden (1857-1928) married Dr Richard Pankhurst, the Red Doctor, a Radical, feminist barrister. Their three daughters were all involved in the Womens Social and Political Union (WSPU), formed to campaign for votes for women. Emmeline was a charismatic and eloquent speaker and was immensely popular with the membership. By 1913 she had served three prison sentences: two in 1908 for leading a deputation to Parliament, and for inciting the public to rush the House of Commons; and in the wake of the window smashing of March 1912, she was sentenced to nine months in prison for conspiracy to commit damage. Emmeline Pankhursts goal, the right for all women to vote, was finally realised in 1928

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst, a prominent English suffragette in the early 20th century. Born into a Radical political family in Manchester, Emmeline Goulden married Dr Richard Pankhurst, an influential feminist barrister known as the Red Doctor. Together, they raised three daughters who all became involved in the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), dedicated to fighting for women's voting rights. Emmeline possessed immense charisma and eloquence, making her immensely popular among WSPU members. Her unwavering dedication to the cause led her to endure multiple prison sentences throughout her life. In 1908, she was imprisoned twice for leading a delegation to Parliament and inciting public action at the House of Commons. Additionally, she served nine months behind bars in 1912 after being convicted of conspiracy related to window smashing protests. Despite facing numerous obstacles along her journey, Emmeline Pankhurst's ultimate goal was achieved when women were granted the right to vote in 1928. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of her courage and determination as she fought tirelessly for equality and human rights. The monochrome image beautifully portrays this iconic British activist who played an instrumental role in shaping history through her relentless campaigning efforts. It is a testament to Emmeline Pankhurst's legacy as one of Britain's most famous suffragettes and showcases her significant contribution towards democracy and female empowerment during that transformative era.
