Sepia photograph of Emmeline Pankhurst, seated in a carved high-backed chair. She is wearing a white lacy button-up shirt with a high neck and bow at the collar, tucked into a black skirt with a high waist. She is wearing a long necklace, has short curly hair, and holds a pen in the hand which rests on her lap. Her expression is challenging.
