Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst

Emmeline Pankhurst's autobiography gives the reader an insight into the struggle to get votes for women.

The book contains the 16 photographs from the original 1914 publication with three others. The text is annotated by the publisher with short footnotes giving explanations of terms and descriptions of the people mentioned. There is an introduction by Lesley Gray giving an overview of the suffragette struggle.
