Statue of Emmeline Pankhurst, Bronze statue in St Peter's Square, Manchester, England
This bronze sculpture shows Emmeline Pankhurst standing on a chair with her arm raised, captured in the moment of addressing a crowd. It sits within a circular gathering space with benches that invites people to stop and spend time around the monument.
The statue was unveiled in 2018, marking a century since women won the right to vote in Britain. It came about through a five-year public campaign that sought to honor her role in advancing women's political rights.
The sculpture captures Pankhurst in a moment of public speech, symbolizing her leadership of the suffrage movement that she championed in this city. Visitors gather around the statue as a place to reflect on women's political rights and the struggle to achieve them.
The statue is located in St. Peter's Square in the city center and easy to reach on foot, with seating nearby where you can sit and rest. The site is open during the day and works well as a brief stop while exploring the city.
About 6,000 people gathered for the statue's unveiling in 2018, with many children waving banners and chanting the suffragette motto 'deeds not words.' This large turnout shows how much the memory of this movement still matters to people in the city today.
