Suffragette: My Own Story

In the same year that Meryl Streep plays the role of feminist Emmeline Pankhurst in Hollywood movie Suffragette, comes a new edition of Pankhurst's gripping memoir: SUFFRAGETTE: MY OWN STORY. The book the chronicles the beginnings of her interest in feminism through to her militant and controversial fight for women's right to vote, including use of extreme tactics such as arson, violent protest and hunger strikes to further her cause. Her legacy is still very much alive today.
