EMMELINE PANKHURST

Emmeline Pankhurst was born on July 15th, 1858 in Manchester, England, and she died on June 14th, 1928 in London, at the age of 69.
She was one of the most important women in the history of suffrage. Emmeline and her husband created the women's Franchise League. They fought for suffrage for married and single women.
When her husband died, she founded The Women's Social and Political Union, formed only by women. They reacted with action not words. They were sent to jail for acts of vandalism.
She won the vote for women over 30 years old, but with many restrictions.
Emmeline created a women's party called "W.S.P.V." (Women Social and Political Union).
