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.

I never learned my full multiplication tables because of the timed pressure involved, I slow down and fail to make connections when I'm intimidated to hurry up. My way to math got the right answers, but was too slow for the teacher's timer.

    🎵( to the tune of itsy bitsy spider) One fine day Across the park I thought to walk, I met a fine young gentleman and he began to talk He asked me what I thought about the Pankhursts and the vote. I told him, and as he ran away these words he spoke: Put me on an island where the girls are few, Put me amongst the most ferocious lions in the zoo, You can put me on a treadmill and I'll never ever fret. But for Gowd's sake don't put me near a suffra-gette. Nah-nah-nah nah-nah nah-nah nah-nah nah-nah ah-nah nah-nah naa X2 Put me in the deepest vat of bubbling boiling oil You can put me in a chamber under three foot of clay soil You can put me in a dungeon where I'll never ever fret But for Gord's sake don't put me near a suffra-gette. That's a song I learned Theatre week London and it stuck. I can't remember who wrote it. I also played Queen Victoria and can't remember the name of the play.
