Emmeline Pankhurst

"We shall never rest or falter until the long, weary struggle for enfranchisement is won. For the vote, we are prepared to give life itself - or, what is perhaps even harder, the means by which we live."

"We are not here because we are law-breakers - We are here in our efforts to become law-makers!"

"I believe that the sacrifice of personal liberty always has been and always will be the most powerful appeal to the sympathy and the imagination of the great mass of human beings."
