Description
Alt text: The back of a postcard featuring a biographical summary of Emmeline Pankhurst, credited to Ethyl Smyth. The text reads, "Emmeline Pankhurst 1858-1928 Of Lancastrian and Marx liberatiion descent; married a reformer. Invented Militancy; almost perished hunger-striking. Woman Suffrage attained, worked for the Empire; became Canadian State Lecturer of Hygiene; Died Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Whitechapel. Dignified, modest, graceful, with lovely eyes and exquisite voice, her passionate eloquence was irresistable. Worshipped by women, men bore her terrific onslaughts unresentingly. Accepting service as nothing, she dismissed compromisers unthanked. Fearless, disinterested, always hopeful, like Joan of Arc inexplicable and immortal." The bottom text indicates "Printed for the National Portrait Gallery, London, by B. Matthews (Photo Printers) Ltd., Bradford, England." A band below the postcard has the text "Palczewski Suffrage Postcard Archive."
