Title
Letter written by Emeline Pankhurst to members of the Women's Social and Political Union(UK), 10 January, 1913, outlining the case for militancy.
Subject
Emeline (Emily) Pankhurst's famous call for "Deeds not words" in the women's suffrage movement in England.
Description
Emily Pankhurst derides the suffragists who favor a conciliatory approach to the British political establishment. Ignoring the pledge to consider women's suffrage in the coming days Pankhurst argues that more, not less, aggression was needed to create support for the suffragette's. Pankhurst's aggression was in stark contrast to that of many other suffragists and reformers, having more in common with radical political and labor groups than the middle class progressives.
