My Own Story by Emmeline Pankhurst

5.0

A riveting story of courage, fortitude, and vision of both men and women who fought for women's political freedom by means of the vote. Beautifully detailed with names, dates, events of one of the most energetic periods of history by someone who was not only there but was a fiercely active participant in changing history for women. You cannot help but be touched by the stories of selflessness, suffering, and sacrifice these women experienced in the face of fierce and unreasonable political and social opposition for the benefit of future generations.
