The inspirational story of Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the suffragette movement, is told vividly and succinctly in this illustrated. Emmeline was a girl who loved reading and dreamed about all the things she wanted to do. Only because Emmeline was a girl, unlike her brothers she couldn’t go to university, get a job, or even vote; the unfairness will be striking to children.
The book follows Emmeline throughout her fight for women’s rights showing what hard work it was, and how long it took. A young Emmeline stares out at us from the cover, hands on hips, while the last page shows her as a little girl again, dreaming of the day that all women would have the vote. Stirring stuff, and Emmeline’s determination and character shine through. A great book to put into the hands of young people with big dreams. Andrea Reece
