作者简介
Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) stands as a towering figure in the annals of social and political activism, particularly in the women's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom. Born Emmeline Goulden into a politically active family, Pankhurst was instilled with a passion for social equality from an early age. She married Richard Pankhurst, a barrister known for supporting women's right to vote. Together, they were powerful advocates for suffrage before his untimely death left Emmeline to continue their work. Pankhurst's fervent dedication to the cause of female enfranchisement led her to found the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1903, which adopted more militant tactics than previously seen in the suffrage movement. As a strategist, orator, and leader, Pankhurst's influence was profound and far-reaching. Her resolve is encapsulated in the speech 'Freedom or Death,' delivered in 1913 in Hartford, Connecticut, which later was published and remains a touchstone for activists championing civil liberties. Pankhurst's literary output, while scant, is profoundly impactful, reinforcing her role not just as a campaigner but also as a compelling voice in the written advocacy of women's rights. Her stylistic approach combined potent rhetoric with heartfelt appeals, aimed to galvanize supporters and sway opponents to the cause of women's suffrage. Her legacy is a testament to the power of tireless advocacy and remains influential in discourses on gender equality and civil rights.
