Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) was a leading suffragette and founder in 1903 of the WomenGÇÖs Social and Political Union (WSPU). She was incensed by the refusal of the Independent Labour Party to admit women. In reaction she founded the all-female WSPU. Both Emmeline and her daughter Christabel were imprisoned many times for the political stance and militancy, with which they fought for the womenGÇÖs right to vote. Her battle-cry, GÇÿremove the political disability of sexGÇÖ, is as relevant today as it was explosive then.
