Emmeline Pankhurst was a political activist who fought for the cause of women and especially their right to vote. She lived in the UK from 1858 to 1928 / from mid-19^th century to the beginning of the 20^th century. She devoted her life women’s rights as she spent her life fighting inequalities. She was also a wife and a mother who risked her health, her life, and her money. To be heard from the rest of society, she and her friends (fellow suffragettes) committed petty crimes like breaking windows, setting fire to letter boxes or chaining themselves to fences / railings. Emmeline Pankhurst never thought she was a criminal, on the contrary, she believed she would become a lawmaker: “We are here not because we are lawbreakers, we are here in our efforts to become lawmakers”.
