One of the most iconic figures of the suffrage movement was Emmeline Pankhurst. A fearless leader, she founded the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and adopted militant tactics to draw attention to their cause. The WSPU's actions, such as window-smashing and hunger strikes, polarized public opinion but ultimately forced the government to take notice.
