Tentang Penulis
Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928) was an English political activist and suffragette. She founded the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1903, an all-female organisation that advocated for women’s suffrage. For forty years, she battled for women’s rights, staging hunger strikes and receiving multiple prison sentences for her often violent protests. In July 1928, just weeks after her death, the UK government granted women over the age of 21 the right to vote. Her work was a crucial factor in achieving this feat.
