Description and Table of Contents

Description

This text provides a full account of the lives of Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel, Sylvia and Adela. It is the story of an extraordinary family whose work for the rights of women challenged the very heart of the political and social establishment. The book draws on original research, building together a portrait of the triumphs and tragedies of this often dysfunctional, but always exceptional, family.
