1898: Dr and Mrs Pankhurst and their four children are living comfortably in Manchester. However, in that year an event occurs which will radically change all their lives.
1904: Annie Kenney - a mill worker since the age of ten. What has Women's Suffrage to offer her?
1908: Constance Lytton : daughter of the Viceroy of India, she came from one of the leading families in the land. Almost any door was open for her.
