Emmeline Pankhurst viewed her fight for women rights as an action to promote justice. She believed in liberty as a free citizen of a free country. Even when Pankhurst resorted to militant tactics, she claimed that it was for liberty. In a speech delivered in New York on October 21, 1913, Pankhurst claimed that "Men got the vote because they were and would be violent". She relates her militancy to her want of a vote. Therefore, everything that Pankhurst did to fight for women rights was felt as an action of justice because of the cause of liberty behind it.
