Emmeline Pankhurst was a British social and political activist who led the fight for women's rights, particularly the right to vote. This is a memoir of her life and work: "Those men and women are fortunate who are born at a time when a great struggle for human freedom is in progress. It is an added good fortune to have parents who take a personal part in the great movements of their time. I am glad and thankful that this was my case."
