Emmeline Pankhurst (née Goulden; 15 July 1858 – 14 June 1928) was a British political activist[1] who organised the British suffragette movement and helped women to win in 1918 the right to vote in Great Britain and Ireland. In 1999, Time named her as one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century, stating that „she shaped an idea of objects for our time“ and „shook society into a new pattern from which there could be no going back“.[2] She was widely criticised for her militant tactics, and historians disagree about their effectiveness, but her work is recognised as a crucial element in achieving women’s suffrage in the United Kingdom.[3][4]
