  Emmeline Pankhurst
  by Sophie Shapiro

  Emmeline Pankhurst was one of the founders of the British Suffragette movement. It is the name of Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst, more than any other, which is associated with the struggle for votes for women in the period immediately preceding World War I. She was born Emmeline Goulden in Manchester, England, in 1857 and married Richard Marsden Pankhurst, a barrister, in 1879. Mr Pankhurst was already a supporter of the women’s suffrage movement, and had been the author of the Married Women’s Property Acts of 1870 and 1882. In 1889, Mrs Pankhurst founded the Women’s Franchise League, but her campaign was not interrupted by her husband’s death in 1898. In 1903 she founded the better-known Women’s Social and Political Union, a militant movement whose members included the notorious Annie Kenney, the suffragette “martyr”, Emily Davison and the composer, Dame Ethel Smyth. She was joined in the movement by her daughters, Christabel and Sylvia, both of whom would make a substantial contribution to the campaign in different ways. Mrs Pankhurst’s tactics for drawing attention to the movement succeeded in getting her imprisoned several times, but, because of her high profile, she did not endure the same privations as many of her fellow suffragettes (though she did experience force-feeding after going on hunger strike). Her approach to the campaign did not endear her to everyone, and there were splits within the movement as a result. Her autobiography, My Own Story, was published in 1914. She died in 1928, having achieved the majority of her goals: the right to vote for women in the United Kingdom.

  A coloured pencil drawing of the rear of a Ferrari F430 Berlinetta.
  by SteveBrandon

  This is a Prismacolor coloured pencil drawing, drawn on 9 inch by 12 inch sketchbook paper, based on a photo I took in May of the tail end of a Ferrari F430 parked in the parking lot of the Merivale Market plaza in the Ottawa suburb of Nepean, with New Look Eyewear and Nando’s Flame-Grilled Chicken in the background. This is the second drawing that I’ve done of this exact car, with the first one being an oil pastel drawing of the front and side of the car at a dutch angle. What can I say? I really like drawing the Ferrari F430, and the photos I took of this particular car in May (and then, again, in early September), are the best photos I’ve taken of the F430, especially the May photos since the bright sunlight really brought out the Ferrari red. One thing I did differently this time is that I applied multiple even layers of base colour: pink, vermilion, and then crimson, before I even started local shading, in order to make the Ferrari red really stand out, and using a light colour as the bottom base colour made it much easier for me to add white highlights, to make this well-polished and well-waxed Ferrari really shine. Another reason I chose to illustrate this particular photo is that I like the background detail of two businesses I see nearly every day.
