4.0

In this autobiographical work, Pankhurst writes about her life from birth until 1914. It focuses on her life as a suffragette and a fighter for injustice.
She tells us about what drives her, how she became to be a fierce feminist and an influential voice in the suffragette movement. Her writing is clean and sharp, and she can be both funny and serious.

Reading her words was a very inspiring experience for me. When she writes about the times she called out social injustice and fought for what was right, I felt really empowered. She was thrown in jail, she was abused, she fought so much for the rights women have today. This is a smart and admirable woman, who I think everyone should have some knowledge of.

I don’t know what she would say if she saw our current situation when it comes to the world today, but I bet she would be both happy and frustrated. We have come so far but there is still much missing.
Highly recommend!
