How did emmeline pankhurst change the world?
Emmeline Pankhurst was a leader of the Women's Social and Political Union, a splinter group which broke from the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies in 1903. The NUWSS (or "Suffragettes") campaigned for women to be given the vote in Britain from the 1870s up to the Great War. Peaceful requests had gone ignored so the WSPU gained public attention by disrupting meetings held by members of parliament, by chaining themselves to railings and by breaking windows. The sometimes brutal over-reaction by the police and the government brought them much sympathy. The WSPU brought the issue of votes for women into such prominence that it could no longer be ignored. Partial suffrage was granted in 1918 but it was not until 1928 that women were given equal voting rights with men.
