"Often I have heard the taunt that suffragists are women who have failed to find any normal outlet for their emotions, and are therefore soured and disappointed beings. This is probably not true of any suffragist, and it is most certainly not true of me. My home life and relations have been as nearly ideal as possible in this imperfect world."
Emmeline Pankhurst was a British political activist and leader in the campaign for women’s suffrage. She founded the Women’s Social and Political Union and became known for militant tactics in pursuit of voting rights. Her work helped secure full voting equality for British women in 1928.
