Talks Revisited: Emmeline Pankhurst with Monika Lind

Today, women in Britain take the right to vote for granted but who do we have to thank for it? Would you like to know more about the woman who fought for that right? Emmeline Pankhurst came from a politically active family and became involved in women’s suffrage in the late 19th century and when as a woman she was refused to join a party, she simply founded her own, the Women’s Social & Political Party. She changed women’s lives forever and we will look at who she was as a person, how she led her sometimes bitter battles, and how her legacy was carried on. Monika Lind is a retired university lecturer of Culture and Humanities Studies with a passion to continue to share her eclectic interests in and knowledge of all things cultural with you. For those that missed the talks the first time around or if you just want to hear the talk again.
