Pankhurst

Famous quotes containing the word pankhurst:

    There is something that Governments care for far more than human life, and that is the security of property, and so it is through property that we shall strike the enemy.... Be militant each in your own way.... I incite this meeting to rebellion.
    —Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928)

    The militancy of men, through all the centuries, has drenched the world with blood, and for these deeds of horror and destruction men have been rewarded with monuments, with great songs and epics. The militancy of women has harmed no human life save the lives of those who fought the battle of righteousness. Time alone will reveal what reward will be allotted to women.
    —Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928)

    ...the way to reform has always led through prison.
    —Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928)
