For some of us it’s hard to imagine #feminism today without the likes of #emmelinepankhurst - so today’s #freeaccess via Exact Editions focuses on the #suffragette movement.

Pankhurst defending her activism in court:

'I have no sense of guilt. I look upon myself as a prisoner of war. I am under no moral obligation to confirm to, or in any way accept, the sentence imposed upon me.'

Emmeline Pankhurst The women's suffrage movement in Britain fought for a whole range of feminist demands, including: the right to vote, cooperative rather than family-based childcare, equal pay for women, and family allowances for all children.

Amazing piece in the Guardian Science today from Introducing Epigenetics author, Cath Ennis. Introducing Epigentics is available to buy now.

'There are no easy answers, and there is the potential to do great harm if these shiny new technologies are applied inappropriately. Epigenetics is an exciting and fast-moving science; let’s hope that the legal and ethical fields can keep up with it.'
