Emmeline Pankhurst was a founder of the Womenâs Social and Political Union, a British organization that thrust the disenfranchisement of women into public consciousness. Her organization focused on âdeeds, not words,â and used public demonstrations and acts of militancy to tip public opinion in favour of equal suffrage. Pankhurst also frequently lectured on womenâs suffrage.
