E. support for overseas expansion.
Answer:
D. a radical struggle for women’s suffrage.
Emmeline Pankhurst was a radical in the efforts of women to gain the right to vote. As the leader of
the Women’s Social and Political Union in the early 1900s, she used militant methods, such as breaking
windows and committing arson, to help women fight for the right to vote. Some resented her aggressive
methods, but Emmeline Pankhurst believed that only extreme measures would help women achieve their
goal. She is not associated with any literary, health, or artistic movement in European history.
