The suffragette story and the Pankhurst family : Emmeline Pankhurst & her three daughters
Colgan, Siobhan2025
Book
With their founding of the suffragette movement and passionate pursuit of votes for women, Emmeline Pankhurst and her three daughters - Christabel, Sylvia and Adela - forever altered the course of British history. This book offers a compelling exploration of their pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement while uncovering the personal stories behind these trailblazing women. What motivated this post-Victorian middle-class family to risk everything - their reputations, their livelihoods, even their very lives - for the cause of female suffrage? Through an intimate examination of their relationships with one another, as well as with those who inspired and challenged them, this book reveals the love, resentments and ruthlessness that stirred these four women into action.
