   BACKROUND
   Emily Pankhurst was born on
    the 15th July 1858.She was
    brought up in Manchester
    and she had politically active
    parents and when she was
    eight she was introduced to
    the suffragette movement In
    1878. she married Richard
    Pankhurst, a barrister who
    supported women's right to
    vote; they had five children
    over the next ten years. He
    also supported her activities
    outside the home.
   After her husband died she started an organization called
    the WSPA (women’s social and political union) who
    protested and won the right for women to vote. When they
    started protesting they became famous because they
    smashed windows and attacked police officers and this is
    when she and her friends got arrested and sent to prison.
    In the prison she and her friends went on hunger strikes to
    grab the attention of the public and this was when people
    started to listen. Pankhurst was arrested a further seven
    times and then finally the government approved and she
    had won the right to vote.
Well Emily Pankhurst protested for women's rights because
her parents were part of the suffragette movement and also
because she felt that it was so unfair that men were socially
above women . She also had some female daughters who
supported her very much and she had a whole organisation
backing her. So she had so many people
•I have learnt how cruel society was towards women
and I thin I have done ok with presenting what Emily
Pankhurst has done for us however next time I will
definitely do more research.
