About this source

What it is

This photograph was taken on 14 December 2018 at the unveiling of a bronze statue of Emmeline Pankhurst in Manchester. It shows sculptor Hazel Reeves standing with Dr Helen Pankhurst, Emmeline's great-granddaughter, beside the new statue.

Why it matters

The statue was created to celebrate women's contribution to Manchester, and its unveiling took place exactly 100 years after women first voted in a UK general election. The photo connects Pankhurst's legacy to her own descendants and to how she continues to be publicly remembered.

Look closer

  • Why might the unveiling have been timed to the anniversary of women's first vote?
  • What does it mean that a descendant of Pankhurst took part in unveiling the statue?
  • How does a modern statue differ from a photograph as a way of remembering someone?
