Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst

In October 1913, Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst came to the United States. She was famous (infamous) in England and worldwide as a suffragette. She had some difficulty entering the United States and the President finally allowed her to enter.

Some newspapers printed unflattering photos and articles about her...

The Tacoma Times,Oct. 25, 1913



While others reported on her activities in a more flattering light...
