Emmeline Pankhurst - Paperback

by Mariapaola Pesce (Author), Paola Zanghi (With)

Born into a family in which political commitment was intertwined with everyday life, Emmeline Pankhurst always breathed activism. Even as a child, she understood that women had to commit to changing their living conditions and the firm beliefs rooted in Victorian society about what it meant to be the "weaker sex." Her motto, with which she managed to inspire her colleagues, was "Never underestimate the power we have to be architects of our own destiny." Emmeline Pankhurst was a pioneer of feminism, a suffragette and an icon of the fight for women's liberation. She shone both for her organizational capacity and for the seductive power of her speeches, among which the famous "We are not here because we want to break the laws, we are here because we want to make them" stands out.
