I'm glad, my mum used to give a little speech about Emily Pankhurst every time she went to vote, she also used to ask all my new girlfriends if they voted (not straight away but at some point) and woe betide them if they said no!!!

A statue like this?
Is that Glen Hoddle or Ceaucescu? Not Pop Robson?

It's a shocker. No wonder it was taken down.

Still makes me laugh!
Long overdue.
One of her cohorts in the Suffragette movement around Manchester was Eva Gore Booth. She was a Sligo born woman whose sister, Constance (nowadays better remembered as Countess Markievicz) was, despite what you may have been taught in school, the first woman elected to the House of Commons. (She often gets ignored in the UK, perhaps because she was elected representing Sinn Fèin (who were actually very supportive of the suffragettes) or maybe because she refused swear allegiance to the Crown to accept her seat).
There's a great story, that I read yonks ago, about a number these women racing carriages around the streets of Manchester asan act of protest whilst various dignitaries were visiting the city. Must have been a sight to behold!
Hardy girls, indeed and, in this age of all that Kardashian nonsense, great role models for the young women of today.

I suppose if the OP was making a point it would be better to get the name correct.
