In 1913, British suffragist Emmeline Pankhurst delivered her famous "Freedom or Death" speech to a crowd of supporters at the Parsons Theater in Hartford, Connecticut. The famous activist, well-known to Americans for her aggressive tactics she employed at suffragist rallies in England, was invited to speak by architect Theodate Pope of Farmington, and introduced by Hartford socialite and feminist Katharine Houghton Hepburn.
Taking the stage in front of a green, white, and purple banner that read "Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God," Pankhurst spoke for over ninety minutes, delivering a powerful and eloquent justification of using militant tactics to agitate for women's rights. "Tonight I am not here to advocate woman suffrage," she declared.
