Emmeline Pankhurst Quotes

My childhood was protected by love and a comfortable home. Yet, while still a very young child, I began instinctively to feel that there was something lacking, even in my own home, some false conception of family relations, some incomplete ideal Picture Quote #1

The militancy of men, through all the centuries, has drenched the world with blood. The militancy of women has harmed no human life save the lives of those who fought the battle of righteousness Picture Quote #1

What is the use of fighting for the vote if we do not have a country to vote in? With that patriotism that has nerved women to endure torture in prison for the national good, we ardently desire that our country shall be victorious Picture Quote #1

Better that we should die fighting than be outraged and dishonored... Better to die than to live in slavery Picture Quote #1

I have made speeches urging women to adopt methods of rebellion such as have been adopted by men in every revolution Picture Quote #1

I suppose I had always been an unconscious suffragist. With my temperament and my surroundings, I could scarcely have been otherwise Picture Quote #1

Every principle of liberty enunciated in any civilized country on earth, with very few exceptions, was intended entirely for men, and when women tried to force the putting into practice of these principles, for women, then they discovered they had come into a very, very unpleasant situation indeed Picture Quote #1

I have not personally suffered from the deprivations, the bitterness and sorrow which bring so many men and women to a realisation of social injustice Picture Quote #1

I was fourteen years old when I went to my first suffrage meeting. Returning from school one day, I met my mother just setting out for the meeting, and I begged her to let me go along Picture Quote #1

Often I have heard the taunt that suffragists are women who have failed to find any normal outlet for their emotions, and are therefore soured and disappointed beings. This is probably not true of any suffragist, and it is most certainly not true of me. My home life and relations have been as nearly ideal as possible in this imperfect world Picture Quote #1
