Printed Ephemera — 1910
Postcard, photographic postcard
Postcard with photographic portrait of Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) getting into a car. In April 1910 Emmeline Pankhurst spoke at the Theatre Royal Margate.
Emmeline Pankhurst was a charismatic speaker who founded the Women's Social and Political Union in 1903 to campaign for female suffrage. Led by Emmeline and her daughter Christabel, the WSPU adopted increasingly militant tactics, such as heckling politicians and smashing windows. Emmeline Pankhurst served a number of prison sentences for her suffragette activities and went on hunger strike in protest at suffragettes not having the status of political prisoners.
