Give me child friendly facts on Emmeline Pankhurst

[Soubriquet]

Dd has to do a power point on an influential person. She’s chosen Emmeline Pankhurst. Now there is loads of info about her. We’ve narrowed down most of it, but if you have any really interesting or odd facts, post them here

My advice for giving any presentation is to keep it simple and relevant - there's a lot of important and significant information available on Emmeline Pankhurst and what she's famous for. Don't cloud the presentation with non-relevant interesting or odd facts.

She had a motto of 'deeds not words'.

She had 10 brothers and sisters and she was the oldest daughter.

She sometimes wore a disguise when she was out to make it harder for the police to recognise her and arrest her.

I believe she quite famously said “Dear daughters should do their own homework”

😀

She famously said “Eat all but your peas, for tomorrow the female of the species is more precious than the male.”

Or a reputable source of information could be

Her husband Richard was a barrister and radical who supported her fight and worked tirelessly for the cause.

The pallbearers at her funeral were all women. Former members of the suffragette movement.

Mrs Pankhurst is well known now but she was one of many women who worked to further women's rights, which started a good 40 years before the militant Suffrage movement began. Women such as Millicent Fawcett, Josephine Butler, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, Florence Nightingale and men such as John Stuart Mill fought for years.

True. However this isn’t homework per se. More like extra credit. And she’s done her research but there’s shedloads of info and she just wanted some cool bits just to add in. She’s mostly finished tbh
