'Emmeline Pankhurst led an army of women onto the streets of Britain as the leader of the Suffragettes - but how much do we really know about this global icon? In this documentary, actress Sally Lindsay take a rare look at the personal loves, losses and political passions that transformed this working mum from Manchester into a militant activist campaigning for votes for women'

I walked past the new meeting circle in St Peter’s Square this morning. I look forward to seeing the new EP statue being placed there, it will be the first statue of a woman in Manchester in over 100 years.

Thanks for sharing the details of the programme, I’m very interested.
