up in the sky is the moon glistening light
but I long to be up there
I’d rather be up there than down here
it’s so pretty
the reason for my heartbeat
it guides me home
remind me that the matter what i will never be alone
because even when I’m lost and confused I look up and I know someone is looking at it too
it is the hope and beauty I see
it is happiness it’s peace it’s honesty it’s beauty
I look at the moon and he looks back at me
he is my only friend on my loneliest night

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.
