"Emmeline Pankhurst is without doubt one of the most extraordinary and influential women of the twentieth century. Her name is synonymous with the 'votes for women' campaign and she is remembered as the most inspirational suffrage leader in history. In this absorbing account of her life both before and after the campaign for women's suffrage, leading historian June Purvis documents her early political work, her active role within the suffrage movement and her role as a wife and mother. A fascinating full-length biography, the first for nearly seventy years, it draws upon new approaches to feminist biography to place Emmeline Pankhurst within the context of her family and friends. Emmeline Pankhurst is based upon an unrivalled range of primary sources, including personal interviews with her surviving family, making this the most comprehensive and reliable account of an remarkable woman's remarkable life.
