ABSTRACT
In October 1903 Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters founded the all-female Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) at their house in Nelson Street, Manchester. Six other women, including Pattie Hall (the wife of Leonard Hall, who had been arrested with Emmeline at Boggart Hole Clough), were invited to join them. Years later Emmeline Pankhurst told Pattie Hall's daughter that her dining-room table bore the indelible marks of the ‘Votes for Women’ placard which they had made and put up outside her home.
