Emmeline Pankhurst was the founder of the WSPU foundation. A womens suffragette movement. She was born in Manchester and this was also the place where she would marry her husband, who was an advid supporter of the Suffragette movements. She would have many children with him and one of those children (Christabel Pankhurst) followed her mothers path and played a large role in the WSPU foundation with her mother. On many occasions, Emmeline would be arrested along with other group members, and then stage a hunger strike. She did this multiple times throught her time as the founder. At times when it appeared a movement would be passed, Emmeline would encourage the other women to role back on their protests, however nothing did ever pass and the protests they held continued to get worse. Emmeline contributed to these by throwing rocks at the prime ministers home and at one point, an incidiery device went off in a house being built for the chancelor which Emmeline was arrested for. During one of her releases after the cat and mouse act, where she was furloughed to try and regain strength, Emmeline traveled to the United States where she gave speeches and fundraised. However once world war 1 arrived, women needed to make sure they had a country to fight for voting rights in, so their focus switched to the war efforts. Emmeline rallied the WSPU women to take up jobs and positions to fill for men so they could go fight in the war. Emmeline lived to be 69 and sadly she did not live to see women recive their right to vote, but it did happen. In 1928 women recieved FULL voting rights, same as their male counterparts. Emmeline died less than a month before it happened. She passed in June 14th, 1928 and the vote was passed on July 2, 1998.
