With their founding of the suffragette movement and passionate pursuit of votes for women, Emmeline Pankhurst and her three daughters-Christabel, Sylvia and Adela-forever altered the course of British history. This book offers a compelling exploration of their pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement while uncovering the personal stories behind these trailblazing women. What motivated this post-Victorian middle-class family to risk everything-their reputations, their livelihoods, even their very lives-for the cause of female suffrage? Through an intimate examination of their relationships with one another, as well as with those who inspired and challenged them, this book reveals the love, resentments and ruthlessness that stirred these four women into action. Emmeline and her daughters were far from alone in the fight for suffrage, and the contributions of many of the exceptional women and men who supported them are highlighted here. Nevertheless, it is the Pankhurst's extraordinary journey that lies at the heart of this story. Above all, this is a look into one remarkable family whose struggles and sacrifices ultimately left a lasting mark on history.
