My own story

Don't miss Meryl Streep as Emmeline Pankhurst in the major motion picture Suffragette. Emmeline Pankhurst grew up all too aware of the prevailing attitude of her day: that men were considered superior to women.

When she was just fourteen she attended her first suffrage meeting, and returned home a confirmed suffragist.

Throughout the course of her career she endured humiliation, prison, hunger strikes and the repeated frustration of her aims by men in power, but she rose to become a guiding light of the Suffragette movement.

This is the story, in Pankhurst’s own words, of her struggle for equality.
