Emmeline Pankhurst
Emmeline Pankhurst was a British political activist and leader of the suffragette movement, which fought for women's right to vote in the early 20th century. Known for her militant tactics, Pankhurst and her followers engaged in acts of civil disobedience, including arson and vandalism, to draw attention to their cause. Though she is often celebrated for her role in advancing women's rights, her methods and the subsequent embrace of nationalism by some suffragettes have led to a more complex interpretation of her legacy.
