| Summary |
Emmeline Pankhurst, a middle-class mother of five from Manchester, England, changed history when, in 1903, she formed the Women's Social and Political Union. Under her fiery and unorthodox leadership, this militant group--given to church burning, window smashing, and royal slurs--won the parliamentary vote for women. |
