There was also a short film showing some of the most important aspects of the Suffragette movement.<\/h2>\n<h2>One of the most striking pictures was a photo mosaic, \u2018Women Like You\u2019 by the artist, Charlotte Newson, which was a picture of Emmeline Pankhurst developed from over 10,000 pictures of inspirational women and sent in by members of the public.\u00a0 This is the first public artwork in Manchester to celebrate the life of Emmeline Pankhurst and it was developed for the \u2018What Manchester Women Want\u2019, an exhibition for International Women\u2019s Day in 2008.<\/h2>\n<h2>We also saw, on display in the Centre, a model of the sculpture \u2018Rise up, women\u2019.\u00a0 \u00a0This sculpture, by Hazel Reeves, was entered for The WoManchester Project and was chosen from a shortlist of six to celebrate the significant role that women have played in the City. The sculpture won a public vote and will be situated in St Peter\u2019s Square.<\/h2>\n<h2>Although quite small, it is hoped that the Centre will be further developed and will re-open in 2023.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Club Summer Outing to Manchester On Sunday, 24th June, President Carole, along with Anne and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":211,"featured_media":980,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A Visit to the Pankhurst Centre | News | Blog | Events | SI Chester<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Chester : Blog &amp; News : A Visit to the Pankhurst Centre : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Chester .
