Emmeline Pankhurst was born in Manchester in 1858. She is famous for being a leading member in the UK women's Suffragette movement. She helped women to get the right to vote. Her parents were also political activists.
In 1903, she founded the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU.) Their motto (devise) was "deeds not words." (des actes pas des paroles) and they were sometimes violent with their protests and were sometimes sentenced to jail (envoyées en prison.)
Later on, the WSPU became the Women's party and they struggled for women's equality in public life.
She died in 1928.
