Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928), founder and leader of the Women’s Social and Political Union, tells her own story in this 1914 autobiography: a decade of militant campaigning for women’s suffrage in Britain, including window-smashing, arson, hunger strikes, and repeated imprisonments. Pankhurst writes with passion and moral clarity about the sacrifices she and her followers made in the fight for the vote.
