The suffragettes provoked the outrage of Victorian society, but their personal lives were just as dramatic as their public actions. In this shocking and clear narrative of the Pankhursts, Martin Pugh reveals the full story behind this unique family: Emmeline, the dominant mother; Christabel, the favorite daughter who became a Jehovah's Witness and admirer of Mussolini; Sylvia, the "daughter of sin"; and Adela, who was outraged and exiled to Australia after a bitter rupture.

The result is a narrative that reads like a novel and a brilliant insight into the history of a family that forever changed the face of British society.
