Emmeline Pankhurst, British suffragette, and her daughter Christabel, early 20th century (1956). Emmeline Pankhurst (1857-1918) and her daughter Christabel (1880-1958), were among the leaders of the campaign to secure the vote for women. Their militant tactics resulted in their being arrested on numerous occasions (12 times in one year in Emmeline's case). In 1908, the women served 2 months apiece in Holloway Prison after leading a deputation to Parliament and inciting the crowd to 'rush' the House of Commons. A print from People, a volume about the origin and early history of many things, common and less common, essential and inessential, by Readers Union, the Grosvenor Press, London, 1956.
