關於作者
Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) was a preeminent figure in the British suffragette movement, advocating passionately for the enfranchisement of women. Born Emmeline Goulden, in Manchester, England, she grew up in a political household where her parents supported progressive causes. She married Richard Pankhurst, a lawyer and ardent supporter of women's suffrage. The oppression of women propelled Pankhurst to establish the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1903, which was distinguished by its militant tactics aimed at securing women the right to vote. Her relentless campaign was characterized by public demonstrations, hunger strikes, and even imprisonment. Pankhurst's autobiography, 'My Own Story' (1914), provides a compelling first-hand account of her experiences and the ideologies driving the suffragette movement. This work not only outlines the chronology of her activism but also delves into the personal sacrifices she made in the course of this arduous struggle. The book has been referenced to shed light on the early 20th-century women's suffrage movement in Britain and remains an important document in feminist literature. Pankhurst's literary style in her autobiography is forthright, blending the rhetoric of social justice with touching personal anecdotes, which serves to humanize the larger political narrative. It is a style that is incisive and emotive, designed to resonate with her contemporaries and galvanize action. Her contributions continue to be celebrated for their profound impact on women's rights and British democracy.
