Frightfully frigid is my body under these sheets,
Albeit not in this dream.
Long streams of sweat gleam down my body with a glisten as I run from the unknown.
Longing and wishing to be free,
Inches from the edge of the cliff, and I breathe.
Not going to do it, I hesitate, but then I leap. Eyes wide open,
Glowing moonbeams glint through my window, and I awake to see them.

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.
