Pankhurst Sisters

The Pankhurst Sisters—Emmeline, Christabel, and Sylvia—were key figures in the women's suffrage movement in the UK during the early 20th century. Emmeline founded the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), advocating for women's right to vote through militant and strategic activism. Christabel played a significant leadership role, organizing protests and campaigns, while Sylvia initially supported the movement before diverging over political differences. Together, they helped galvanize the fight for women's suffrage, inspiring social change and progressing gender equality in Britain.
