These women were the Nelson Mandelas of their era and often resorted to acts of terrorism. If you break the law then you should be punished not rewarded. I won't even mention the harm done by their movement and the effect that it has on the modern day events. It's such a shame that the British government of their day gave in to their demands.

How I wish I'd had access to this... If you can get your hands on a copy of her autobiography, Laugh A Defiance, do so. As an aside, isn't it a rather damning indictment of our society that even now we still don't value these women as change-making members of society, but rather spend our time commenting on their appearance? I find that very sad. I wrote my dissertation on Mary Raleigh Richardson, and spent many many hours trying to track down a picture of her to include in the appendices.

You think that how these women look is representative of their worth. You're a typical biggot and as such you'll live a restricted life where more than half the population of this world will continue to be distanced from you. What a sad life that must be.

She was infamous for handcuffing herself to a fence down in London, and getting arrested, and generally working HARD for the right to have a voice in government. Interesting, a friend has a great grandmother named Lillian Forrester who was born in the UK... But I think this one is younger than my friend's relative.... No Ms. Pankhurst?
