The statue will celebrate a woman called Emmeline Pankhurst.

  7. Who was Emmeline Pankhurst? Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928) was a woman who campaigned for female suffrage. Suffrage means the right to vote.

In 1819, thousands of people from Manchester and the surrounding towns came to St. Peter’s Fields (now St. Peter’s Square) to a protest, asking for more people to be given the right to vote. The protestors were met with violence ordered by local magistrates, which left at least 11 dead and 400–700 people injured.
