Emmeline Pankhurst

The condition of women in this country is so desperate that it calls for desperate remedies.

If a man has a vote, he is a citizen. If a woman has a vote, she is a citizen. If a woman has not a vote, she is a subject.

We are fighting for a revolution, not a reform.

The law, in fact, was made for men.

Justice and equality. The right to be heard. The right to be judged by one's peers. The right to make one's own laws. The right to live one's own life.

Deeds, not words, were to be our permanent motto.

We have to fight for our freedom, and we will fight for it, and we will win it.

The English are a nation of shopkeepers, and they don't like to have their windows broken.

I am a woman and I claim my right to vote.

We are not going to be content with anything less than the whole loaf.

We have to make the government understand that we mean business.

To win the war, we must win the battle for the minds of men.

It is not the question of what we can do, but what we must do.

We have to be prepared to suffer for our cause.

The only way to get a man to listen is to hit him over the head.

No surrender. Never surrender.

We have to teach men that women are human beings.

We are not asking for a revolution, we are asking for an evolution.

The time has come for deeds, not words.

We are determined to win, and we will win.
