# bio (long form, separated for readability)
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.
