Annie Kenney was born in Oldham in 1879. She was a suffragette who campaigned for women to get the vote. Annie worked in a cotton mill from the age of ten.
She used to ring a bell to get people to pay attention to her speeches. Look at the hand holding her pamphlet. She lost a finger in an accident when she worked in a mill as a teenager.
Why not write a speech about something you feel is important when you get home?
