Description

"Emmeline Pankhurst was the most prominent campaigner for women's right to vote and was transformed into a popular heroine of the early twentieth century. Early in life she was attracted to socialism, then she grew into an entrenched and militant suffragette and ended up as a Conservative Party candidate. This new biography examines the guiding principles that underpinned all of Emmeline Pankhurst's actions, and places her achievements within a wider social and political context."--Jacket.

First Sentence

Emmeline was born on July 15th 1858, a hot summer's day in which temperatures reached an extraordinarily un-British and swelteringly high 85F.
