Continuing with Emmeline Pankhurst and the suffragettes. Here's a post which collects some of her most remarkable quotes and her famous speech "Freedom or Death" (1913). And lines from the "Suffragette" film dialogues.
Video "FREEDOM OR DEATH", Emmerline Pankhurst:
Link to the complete speech @ TheGuardian:
Great speeches of the 20th century: Emmeline Pankhurst's Freedom or death
"I am here as a soldier who has temporarily left the field of battle in order to explain what civil war is like when civil war is waged by women."
"Now I want to say to you who think women can't succeed, we have brought the government of England to this position that it has to face this alternative: either women are to be killed or women are to have the vote."
["FREEDOM OR DEATH", Emmerline Pankhurst.]
