Emmeline Pankhurst statue to be unveiled in Manchester

An 8ft bronze statue of suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst will be unveiled in Manchester city centre next year.

It's the first statue of a woman to go up in the city in more than a century and it will be partly funded by the Government.

Pankhurst, who was born in Moss Side, helped pave the way for women voters, a hundred years ago this week.
