Weekend of discovery and education
The Island's unique feminist heritage will be discussed in a talk this evening (Fri).
Dr Helen Pankhurst is the great-granddaughter of revolutionary English suffragette Emmeline - who's own mother Sophia Goulden hailed from Lonan.
She's here for the first time for a weekend of discovery and education, meeting Island schoolchildren, politicians and the charity keeping Sophia's legacy alive in the Island.
An activist and womens' writer herself, Dr Pankhurst says the Manx people have a special attentiveness to the cause:
Jail for mother who violently shook her infant son
Friday sailings in doubt
‘Charity heart screening event saved my life’
'Pretty significant moments' to come in months ahead, says new treasury minister
MLC hopes to avoid homelessness legislation 'stagnating' due to general election
