Book now: Helen Pankhurst’s Deeds Not Words at People’s History Museum

To mark 100 years since women first gained the right to vote, activist Helen Pankhurst is a late night talk at the People’s History Museum. Helen, who is the great granddaughter of the suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst, is introducing new book, Deeds Not Words: The Story of Women’s Rights – Then and Now, discussing how women’s lives have changed over the last century, as well as offering an argument for the way forward.
