I have had this book for 2 years and never got round to reading it for one reason or another, I purchased it from the Pankhurst Centre, which I feel really fits with the book. Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down.

Reading this book was like a history lesson, topics that I feel every young women needs to know about. The book is focused on, Emmeline Pankhurst militant womens right activist and Etta Lemon driving force behind the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).

Both on very different missions but both very passion and determined to influence change.

The book also has a section writing all about Ada Nield – otherwise known as “Crewe Factory Girl”

This section made me very proud and even more determined to get a Ada statue in Crewe (but that’s a very different story!)

There is so much I loved about the book, all about the fashion, the dynamics of women’s group, the power of women supporting women and how men were needed to help support change!

But most of all I loved reading about the passion and determination of both Emmeline and Etta. It fascinates me what drives women to succeed, to influence change and to continue to fight for what they believe in.

To me such females are positive role models that every young girl should know about, they defined how females live now and I am sure if we empower more females by explaining women of the past there are many future activists that will define our females future.
