Lecturer
Dr. Helen Pankhurst
The Wilberforce Lecture Trust and Freedom Festival are honoured to welcome to Hull Dr. Helen Pankhurst, women’s rights activist and great-granddaughter of Emmeline Pankhurst, to deliver this year’s Wilberforce Lecture.
Helen Pankhurst will lead a participatory discussion on women’s lives, reflecting on the changes in the UK since the right to a parliamentary vote first granted to some women in 1918, and discussing how far we’ve really come.
The session will be informed by findings from her new book Deeds Not Words: The Story of Women’s Rights, Then and Now.
