Travelling to Manchester? See Emmelina Pankhurst Centre

In the news in May 2015 is the Emmelina Pankhurst Centre in Manchester, UK. It was home of Emmelina Pankhurst, who founded the Suffragette movement, campaigning for votes for women. First they achieved votes for women aged over 30, then women aged over 21.

Other relevant articles in Wikipedia include one on Emmelina Pankhurst and another on her speech in the USA.
