"Deeds not words"
Unveiled in December 2018 in St. Peter's Square, this statue of Emmeline Pankhurst became the first female statue in Manchester that is not of Queen Victoria.
The Moss Side-born suffragette was the overwhelming winner in a public vote three years ago to choose which woman should be immortalised in bronze, beating the Victorian novelist Elizabeth Gaskell, the anti-racism campaigner Louise da-Cocodia and
“Red” Ellen Wilkinson, the Labour cabinet minister and leader of the Jarrow March.
Members of the public then chose the final design, by sculptor Hazel Reeves.
