Emmeline Pankhurst did not single-handedly grant women the right to vote, but she was a key figure in the women's suffrage movement in the UK. Women over the age of 30 gained the right to vote in 1918, largely due to the efforts of Pankhurst and other suffragists. Full equality in voting rights was achieved in 1928 when women gained the same voting rights as men.

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.

Who was Emmeline Pankhurst and what did she do?
Emily Goulden was born on 14 July 1858 in Manchester into a family with a tradition of radical politics. In 1879 she married Richard Pankhurst, a lawyer and supporter of the women's suffrage movement. He was the author of the Married Women's Property Acts of 1870 and 1882, which allowed women to keep earnings or property owned before and after marriage. His death in 1898 was a great shock to Emily. In 1889 Emily founded the Women's Franchise League, which fought to allow married women to vote in local elections. In October 1903 she helped found the more militant Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an organisation that gained much attention for its militant activities and whose members were the first to be christened 'suffragettes'. Emily's daughters Christabel and Sylvia were both active in the cause. British politicians, press and public were astonished by the demonstrations, window smashing, arson and hunger strikes of the suffragettes. In 1913, WSPU member Emily Davison was killed when she threw herself under the King's horse at the Derby as a protest at the government's continued to give women the right to vote. Emily was imprisoned and went on ahunger strike during imprisonment, resulting in violent force-feeding. The government passed what became known as the 'Cat and Mouse' Act. Hunger striking prisoners were released until they grew strong again, and then re-arrested. Emily's cause was ended abruptly on the outbreak of war in 1914, when Emily turned her energies to supporting the war effort. In 1918 the Representation of the People Act gave voting rights to women over 30. Emily died on 14 June 1928, shortly after women were granted equal voting rights with men.
