Abstract

This study examines the fight for women’s suffrage in England through the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU), led by Emmeline Pankhurst. It analyzes the influence of Mary Wollstonecraft and John Stuart Mill on its ideology, as well as the group’s radical tactics, including property destruction and hunger strikes in prison. The contradiction in Pankhurst’s leadership is highlighted, as she advocated for equality while running the movement autocratically.
