-What methods did Emmeline Pankhurst advocate be used to achieve the right to vote for women?
Emmeline Pankhurst called upon women to join her in striking the government. Only in some cases were offenders arrested. One of the few women arrested was a helpless cripple, a woman in who could only get around in a wheel chair.
There was an attack ade on letter boxes. When opened, they would burst into flames.
-Why did she feel justified in using these methods?
Emmeline felt she needed to make a point.
-Do you think she was justified? Why or why not?
Yes and no. I mean there may have been other ways to get her point across. However, she may have felt that she had tried everything and had no other choice.
Emmeline Pankhurst was an important woman. She led the suffrage movment with crazy tactics. She has an autobiography called, "My Own Story". It reveal her motivation and determination. Her craze for women's suffrage led to a greater concern for human rights.
