The Pankhurst Sisters: How The Suffragettes Changed The World | A Tale Of Two Sisters | Timeline

Thousands of women gave their all to the Suffrage movement - many endured emotional and physical abuse, and others would pay the ultimate price. Alongside the Pankhursts they all fought for “the sisterhood” - but for Christabel and Sylvia their own sisterhood would be strained to the point of breaking.

I am thankful to the Pankhurst women, as well as all the women involved in gaining the vote for women. If it would not for the strength, the fortitude, the dedication of all these women, I would not have the freedoms today.

So proud to be a New Zealander, Our country was the first to give women the vote in the entire world back in 1893

“Take heart for Miss Pankhurst has been clapped in irons again”
I never understood that line from “Sister Suffragette” (Mary Poppins) before.

My gramma was a Suffragette and from her I learned that casting a ballot is an obligation.

My grandmother and her sisters fought for women to have the vote in Cuba. Women received the vote in 1933, but it was not written into the constitution until 1940. She was a pharmacist and a physician who studied for her medical degree in the United States at a time when this was most uncommon. She taught me to be political and to be aware of what was happening in the world. May her memory always be for a blessing

On 19 September 1893 the governor, Lord Glasgow, signed a new Electoral Act into law. As a result of this landmark legislation, New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world in which women had the right to vote in parliamentary elections.

The fact that humans still had this issue after millenias is sad.

63 yo female, never missed a vote -- even today's primary. Colorado votes by mail. Went pregnant to the polls to try to stave off Reagan Redux, to no avail.

I think I've been on maybe 5 minutes of film of my entire These ladies have LOADS of video footage considering the age!

To us it's unthinkable that a woman could be treated this way back then and yet this still happens all over the world today. As a species we're a box of contradictions. Progress, how does one define and qualify as progress. 🤔☘️

Very inspiring and very insightful for change ! ❤ We are the people!

In America the 19th ammendment was ratified in 1922. I'm 74, but it still seems incredible that women couldn't vote in all the states when my mother was born in 1918. I didn't know til now that it wasn't until 1928 that women could vote in the UK. Thank you for posting this informative video about the Pankhurst women. I knew the name but nothing of the women.

As a result of all their effort a third of all eligible men and women nowadays never bother to vote.
Most new adults do not believe their vote could make a difference in their world. That now extends to those in their 30s. In fact, they are right.

If Sunak and other members of the same club will not start to listen to their own citizens… who knows What demonstrations come to Downing?

Maybe I should go on a hunger strike, so autistics will have their rights respected. I'm autistic and I am sick and tired of being treated as a lesser human who doesnt deserve to live. I dont need a cure. I need my autonomy.
