Pankhurst family

Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) and her daughters Christabel (1880-1958) and Sylvia (1882-1960). The mother and daughters were leaders of the English suffragette movement. 1903 they formed the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), and adopted the slogan ‘Votes for Women’. They adopted tactics of disruption, arson, and window-breaking to argue for their rights.
