## Bio

Born in Manchester in 1858 to politically active parents, Pankhurst entered the suffrage movement at sixteen and spent years in moderate advocacy, founding the Women's Franchise League and working as a Poor Law Guardian where workhouse conditions shook her. In 1903 she founded the Women's Social and Political Union, an all-women group committed to "deeds, not words" — physical confrontations, window-smashing, assaults on police. She and her daughters endured prison, hunger strikes, force-feedings. The WSPU escalated to bombings and arson, splintering the movement; in 1913 Pankhurst exiled her daughter Adela to Australia in fury, a rift never mended. When war came in 1914 she pivoted hard, leading a "Right to Serve" march and urging women into factories and men into trenches. The 1918 Act gave women over thirty the vote; she joined the Conservatives, ran for Parliament, and died in June 1928, weeks before the law extended suffrage to all women over twenty-one.
