Emmeline Pankhurst, A Leading Figure In The Women's Suffrage Movement Revolutionary Women Nicholas Xenos

Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) was a British political activist and suffragette who led the militant wing of the women's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom. Pankhurst and her fellow suffragettes, known as the "suffragettes," employed radical tactics, including hunger strikes, property destruction, and public demonstrations, to demand the right to vote for women.

Pankhurst's unwavering activism and the sacrifices made by the suffragettes eventually paid off. In 1918, the Representation of the People Act granted women over the age of 30 the right to vote in the United Kingdom.
