Podcast appearances and mentions of Emmeline Pankhurst

Emmeline Pankhurst e il femminismo: storia e protagoniste del movimento per l'emancipazione femminile tra l'Ottocento e il Novecento.

Helen Pankhurst, born in 1960, is a British women's rights activist and the granddaughter of Emmeline Pankhurst, the renowned suffragette. Continuing her grandmother's legacy, Helen advocates for gender equality, women's empowerment, and social justice. She has worked with organizations like CARE International and has written and spoken widely on issues affecting women and girls globally. Through her activism, Helen ensures Emmeline's ideals remain a source of inspiration for new generations of feminists.

En este episodio de Grandes Maricas de la Historia, exploramos la vida de Ethel Smyth, una figura revolucionaria del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Compositora brillante, sufragista radical y lesbiana visible en una época de rígidos códigos morales, Smyth desafió las normas de su tiempo con su música y su activismo. Nacida en 1858 en la Inglaterra victoriana, Smyth luchó contra los prejuicios de género para estudiar música en Leipzig, donde conoció a figuras como Brahms y Clara Schumann. Aunque su talento fue reconocido en Alemania, en su país natal enfrentó el escepticismo de una sociedad que no veía con buenos ojos a una mujer componiendo sinfonías y óperas. Smyth no solo destacó en la música, sino que también se unió al movimiento sufragista, componiendo el himno The March of the Women para la Unión Social y Política de Mujeres (WSPU). Su activismo la llevó a la prisión de Holloway, donde dirigió a sus compañeras sufragistas con un cepillo de dientes desde su celda, una imagen icónica de su valentía y creatividad. Además de su lucha política, Smyth vivió abiertamente su sexualidad, manteniendo relaciones con mujeres como Emmeline Pankhurst, líder sufragista, y Virginia Woolf, con quien compartió una profunda amistad en sus últimos años. A lo largo de su vida, Smyth compuso obras sinfónicas, óperas y música de cámara, enfrentándose a críticas machistas que cuestionaban su capacidad como compositora. A pesar de los obstáculos, recibió reconocimientos como el título de Dame Commander of the British Empire y doctorados honoris causa de universidades como Oxford. Su legado, olvidado durante décadas, ha sido recuperado por el feminismo y los movimientos LGTBQ+, que ven en ella una pionera en la lucha por la igualdad y la visibilidad lésbica. Ethel Smyth fue, sin duda, una mujer que derribó muros desde los pentagramas hasta las barricadas. Por cierto, toooodas las músicas de este episodio, y de la playlist, son de la propia Ethel Smyth: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2yWuiD7G0KmpZVA2FAxup4?si=f9b95cf5e463469d

"Suffragetto" est un jeu de société créé au début du XXᵉ siècle par les suffragettes britanniques. Conçu comme un outil militant et éducatif, il reflétait les luttes du mouvement pour le droit de vote des femmes en Grande-Bretagne, tout en mettant en lumière les tensions avec les autorités de l'époque.Le contexte historiqueAu début du XXᵉ siècle, les suffragettes, membres de groupes comme la Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) fondée par Emmeline Pankhurst, menaient une lutte acharnée pour obtenir le droit de vote des femmes. Leur combat incluait des manifestations, des grèves de la faim, des discours publics et des actions spectaculaires, souvent réprimées violemment par la police.C'est dans ce climat de militantisme que "Suffragetto" a vu le jour, probablement vers 1910-1912. Le jeu incarnait la créativité des suffragettes dans leur combat pour sensibiliser le public et diffuser leur message.Les règles et l'objectif du jeuLe plateau de "Suffragetto" représente un affrontement stratégique entre deux camps : les suffragettes et la police britannique. L'objectif des suffragettes est d'organiser une manifestation devant la Chambre des communes, symbole du pouvoir politique, tout en évitant les arrestations policières. Les policiers, eux, cherchent à arrêter les suffragettes et à les emprisonner dans Holloway, célèbre prison londonienne où de nombreuses militantes furent détenues.Le jeu fonctionne comme une simulation stratégique, où chaque joueur doit gérer ses ressources et ses mouvements pour atteindre son objectif. La dynamique du jeu, qui oppose militantisme et répression, reproduit avec humour et tact les défis réels auxquels les suffragettes faisaient face.Un outil de propagande subtile"Suffragetto" était bien plus qu'un jeu de société : il s'agissait d'un outil de propagande féministe. En permettant aux joueuses et joueurs de se glisser dans la peau des suffragettes, il sensibilisait le public à leur cause tout en dénonçant la brutalité policière.Un trésor historique redécouvertLongtemps oublié, "Suffragetto" a refait surface grâce aux recherches historiques et aux passionnés de jeux anciens. Une copie du jeu est aujourd'hui conservée au Musée de Londres. Il est considéré comme un exemple unique d'activisme ludique, alliant humour et stratégie pour servir une cause majeure.En résumé, "Suffragetto" incarne la créativité et la détermination des suffragettes, transformant un jeu de société en une arme pacifique mais percutante dans leur quête pour l'égalité.

In this video I share the story of Martin Luther publishing the 95 Theses in 1517 due to corruption by the church and monarchs of his day. This led to political and social turmoil in Europe that is known as the reformation, which inspired a continent and ultimately the world. You see, Martin Luther took on the Catholic church and monarchs by letting common folks know that they didn't need to go to a priest to pay for the forgiveness of their sins. Instead they could pray directly to God and be forgiven. This greatly upset the church because it reduced their cashflow and as a result, They put a bounty on Martin Luther's head, but he was able to find shelter with local princes in Germany. His 95 Theses had a major impact because it was translated into multiple languages and printed and distributed all over Europe. This was made possible by the invention of the Gutenberg Press, which was the greatest technological advance of its time. What started in 1517 led to the Enlightenment Era nearly 130 years later. Because it became widely accepted that all men could go to God directly, political and social leaders like John Locke realized that the only way to make all men equal in the eyes of the government was to creating a system where every man had an equal right to vote for their local and national leadership. As a result, voting became the most powerful way to participate in the political process. While African American's were supposed to be able to vote in 1866 after the civil war, many Southern states had discriminatory laws that prohibited African Americans from voting. In later years Susan B. Anthony in America and Emmeline Pankhurst in England fought for Women to have the right to vote. Ultimately, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 gave all African Americans the right to vote. When we look at history, true power starts at the polls in modern societies. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and John F. Kennedy all understood this and that is why they were assassinated. In the eyes of the law we are all equal because we all have the right to vote. If you Don't vote you don't matter in the eyes of those in power. Let your voice and vote be heard if you truly want to facilitate change. This is especially true when it comes to local elections. #historyofvoting #historyofdemocracy #biblicalorigins #votingday #election #electionday #martinlutherking #martinluther #malcomx #jfk

Le Suffrajitsu est un aspect fascinant et souvent méconnu de l'histoire des suffragettes, un mouvement qui luttait pour le droit de vote des femmes, en particulier au Royaume-Uni au début du 20e siècle. Le terme combine «suffragette» et «jujitsu», un art martial japonais basé sur des techniques de défense et de neutralisation de l'adversaire, souvent en utilisant la force de celui-ci contre lui-même. Le Suffrajitsu s'inscrit dans un contexte où les militantes étaient confrontées à des violences physiques et psychologiques, tant de la part de la police que des opposants à leur cause. Le Contexte HistoriqueLe mouvement des suffragettes, dirigé par des figures comme Emmeline Pankhurst, cherchait à obtenir le droit de vote pour les femmes à une époque où celles-ci étaient encore largement exclues du processus politique. Les suffragettes adoptaient des tactiques militantes, comme des manifestations, des grèves de la faim, et des actions directes parfois violentes (bris de vitres, incendies criminels, etc.) pour attirer l'attention sur leur cause. Ces actions radicales ont souvent conduit à des arrestations brutales et à des violences, tant de la part de la police que de contre-manifestants.Pour se défendre, certaines suffragettes ont commencé à suivre des cours d'auto-défense, en particulier le jujitsu. C'est là qu'intervient Edith Garrud, une pionnière dans l'enseignement de cet art martial aux femmes. Garrud, une petite femme d'à peine 1,50 m, a démontré que, même sans grande force physique, une femme pouvait neutraliser un adversaire plus fort grâce aux techniques du jujitsu. Elle enseigna ces techniques à de nombreuses militantes du mouvement suffragiste. Le Rôle d'Edith Garrud et de la Bodyguard Unit Edith Garrud a été une figure clé dans la formation d'une unité spéciale de suffragettes appelée la Bodyguard Unit, créée pour protéger les leaders du mouvement, comme Emmeline Pankhurst. Cette unité secrète était composée de suffragettes entraînées au jujitsu et spécialisées dans les techniques d'auto-défense. Leur mission était de protéger les figures emblématiques du mouvement lors de rassemblements publics, ainsi que de les défendre contre les arrestations illégales. L'une des tactiques couramment utilisées par la Bodyguard Unit consistait à protéger les suffragettes lors de rassemblements politiques. La police britannique, irritée par les tactiques militantes des suffragettes, tentait souvent d'arrêter des leaders du mouvement avant ou pendant leurs discours. Grâce à leur entraînement en jujitsu, ces femmes étaient capables de désarmer, de repousser ou de neutraliser les policiers qui tentaient de s'approcher. Les Techniques Utilisées Le jujitsu se prête particulièrement bien à la défense contre des adversaires plus forts. Il repose moins sur la force brute que sur l'utilisation de l'élan de l'adversaire, des prises, des clés de bras et des techniques de projection. Les suffragettes pouvaient donc retourner la force des policiers ou de leurs assaillants contre eux. En plus du jujitsu, elles utilisaient parfois des armes improvisées, comme des gourdins cachés dans des banderoles ou des journaux roulés. L'une des méthodes les plus efficaces consistait à se servir de la surprise et de la discrétion : des attaques rapides, des prises à la gorge ou des projections brusques pouvaient désorienter un adversaire suffisamment longtemps pour que les suffragettes prennent la fuite ou réussissent à protéger leurs camarades...

Tim Dunn travels the entire length of the newly named Suffragette line to interview two incredible guests about the legacy of the Suffragette movement. At the new Barking Riverside station, Tim meets Helen Pankhurst. Helen is the great granddaughter of original Suffragette organiser Emmeline Pankhurst, and the granddaughter of East End Suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst. She is also a scholar, an activist, and a CBE - and quite possibly the best qualified person on the planet to speak with Tim about the legacy of the movement and what the Suffragettes mean to people still fighting for equal rights for women in 2024. Then right at the other end of the line, at Gospel Oak, Tim meets stand up comedian, writer, podcaster and former TV exec Cally Beaton. She speaks to Tim about how gender equality runs through her work, her amazing career, how Joan Rivers inspired her to move into comedy later in life than some, and why it's so important we're still talking about the Suffragettes. ____________________________________ Helen Pankhurst discusses her work with CARE International and Centenary Actin - more information on both organisations can be found here: https://www.careinternational.org.uk/ https://centenaryaction.org.uk/ Discover Cally Beaton's amazing podcast at: https://callybeaton.com/podcast/ And you can follow Cally on Instagram TikTok and Threads: @callybeatoncomedian

Episode 203:  How many words does a message need to be for it to be useful? Would you believe under 35 words, or under 160 characters? Here are some examples: Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address: “We cannot dedicate. We cannot consecrate we cannot hallow this ground. The world will little note nor long. Remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.”  Suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst declared, “We are here not because we are law-breakers; we are here in our efforts to become law-makers.” Henry David Thoreau, in his book Walden, on experiencing Nature should be accessible to all, regardless of social or economic status. “The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode”.  JFK “the goal, before this decade is out, [is] of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth.” Pierre Trudeau: proposed in 1967 that Canada should decriminalize homosexuality. He said “The view we take is, there's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.” Hilary Clinton 2008  when she lost out to Barack Obama for the nomination to run for president said "we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time," but added proudly, "it's got about 18 million cracks in it," a tally of her primary votes. Having heard those, you'll agree that this is doable.  Someone who believes a concise strategy is what it takes to lead people  What's more, she believes we must show them this learned skill so they can craft their strategies and develop into leaders themselves.  Our guest is storyteller, a framework-maker, a brand-builder, who talks about strategy, communication skills, and how to forge your own path. She is the CMO for a security technology firm called Field Effect. Shea Cole is a wife and mom and  a 2024 Recipient Ottawa's top 40 under forty.   Timestamps/Chapters: 00:00:00 Intro 00:04:23 Welcome Shea Cole 00:11:27 Build deck & meeting around vision 00:18:04 Slide 1 00:29:20 PSA 00:30:00 Slides 2 through 6 00:36:25 Adding parts that turn strategy into dollars 00:46:06 Contacting Shea   Links to everything mentioned in the show are on the Funnel Reboot site's page for this episode.  

Kerry-Ann Knight, who served in the army for over a decade, has spoken out about the years of racist and sexist abuse she received whilst serving saying that it made her life "a living hell". She joins Nuala to discuss her experience of taking the Ministry of Defence to an employment tribunal where she accepted a substantial settlement, along with an apology. Her experience has led to lawyer Emma Norton - who's an expert in this field - to call for an inquiry in to the experiences of black and minoritised service personnel in the armed forces. A new exhibition, Gardening Bohemia, at the Garden Museum in London explores the relationship between women in the Bloomsbury group and gardening.  Plus a book out earlier this year, Rural Hours, looks at the influence of time spent in the countryside on three women writers associated with the group, including Virginia Woolf.  Curator Claudia Tobin and author Harriet Baker discuss.When illustrator and author Kate Pankhurst started writing the Fantastically Great Women book, she didn't know she was a distant relative of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst – or that the book would become an award-winning pop musical. With the show currently on at The Other Palace in London, Nuala talks to Kate about why she wanted to celebrate historic women and their achievements, plus cast member Anelisa Lamola performs live in the studio.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Dianne McGregor

Campaigners on women's issues have highlighted that there's scant mention of the rights for women and girls in any of the political party manifestos for 2024 General Election.  They want the public to act NOW.

Au début du XXe siècle, de nombreux pays, comme la France ou le Royaume-Uni, n'accordaient pas le droit de vote aux femmes. En Grande-Bretagne, des mouvements féministes sont alors apparus, pour réclamer le droit de suffrage pour les femmes et, plus généralement, une plus grande égalité entre les deux sexes.À cet égard, l'organisation la plus résolue est fondée en 1903. Présidée par Emmeline Pankhurst, la "women's social and political union" (WSPU) sera animée par des femmes combatives, qui passeront à la postérité sous le nom de "suffragettes".Elles sont prêtes à tout pour obtenir ce qu'elles demandent. Elles tentent d'entrer dans le Parlement, perturbent les meetings des autres partis et s'enchaînent aux grilles des monuments officiels.Elles ne reculent pas devant la violence, brisant les vitres des maisons de certains députés. Leurs actions leur valent de nombreux séjours en prison, qu'elles savent utiliser pour les besoins de leur propagande.Certaines suffragettes sont plus connues que d'autres. On a cité le nom de leur inspiratrice, Emmeline Pankhurst. Mais celui d'Emily Davison est également resté dans les mémoires.Cette jeune femme téméraire emploie tous les moyens pour attirer l'attention de ses concitoyens sur la cause qu'elle défend. Elle incendie des boîtes aux lettres, observe une grève de la faim dans sa geôle et enjambe la balustrade de la prison, pour protester contre l'alimentation forcée qu'on lui a fait subir.À cette occasion, déjà, Emily Davison frôle la mort. Par contre, le 4 juin 1913, elle n'y échappe pas. Ce jour-là, durant le derby d'Epsom, une prestigieuse compétition hippique, elle s'élance sur la piste où courent les chevaux.L'un d'entre eux, qui appartient au Roi George V, la renverse. Quatre jours plus tard, elle décède de ses blessures à l'hôpital où elle a été transportée.Certains diront qu'Emily Davison s'est sacrifiée pour donner plus de résonance à la cause à laquelle elle a voué sa vie. D'autres, par contre, parlent d'un banal accident, l'intention de la militante étant simplement d'accrocher une bannière aux couleurs du WSPU au cou du cheval. Hébergé par Acast.

"No queremos quebrantar las leyes, queremos redactarlas y refrendarlas". Comenzamos el Radiojaputa 212 con esta frase de Emmeline Pankhurst que nos sirve para reflexionar sobre la ironía de que, ahora que el sufragio femenino es una realidad en gran parte del mundo, lo que nos faltan son opciones feministas a las que votar. El consultorio de hoy viene cargado de un poco de todo: desde vuestras impresiones y reflexiones tras nuestro Especial economía feminista, hasta “lo que era imposible que pasara” y ya está pasando cada día en los registros civiles, pasando por la respuesta de de una prima a la compañera del Radiojaputa 209 donde nos contaba lo difícil que es luchar contra la presión que la sociedad ejerce sobre nuestras niñas y sus cuerpos. También tenemos un audio de una compañera de 13 años, sobre otra de esas charlas que dan en los institutos. Ella lo tiene claro, no te la pierdas, prima. Para terminar, y antes del cierre con otro de los maravillosos audio relatos que nos mandásteis por el 25N, hemos entrevistado a Juana Gallego, candidata al europarlamento por el Partido Feministas al Congreso en las próximas elecciones europeas del 9 de junio.

Het proces tegen Oscar Wilde zet de UK in rep en roer. Edward Carpenter biedt hoop met zijn studies rond seksuele oriëntatie, wat E.M. Forster aanzet tot het schrijven van zijn Pride novel: Maurice. Er wordt geschreeuwd om sociale veranderingen, waaronder vrouwenstemrecht. In de gevangenis wordt Ethel Smyth halsoverkop verliefd op suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst. Noel Coward doet er alles aan om zijn homoseksualiteit verborgen te houden, terwijl heel de UK meezingt met de muziek van Ivor Novello.

In this bonus episode of the Peculiar Book Club we got a chance to sit down with author Wendy Moore for a preview conversation of her new book Jack and Eve. Jack and Eve: Two Women in Love and at War, is published by Atlantic Books in the UK. It tells the story of Vera 'Jack' Holme and Evelina Haverfield, pioneering suffragettes who became lovers. Jack was an actress who specialised in cross-dressing roles. She became official chauffeur to suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst. Eve, who was born into the British aristocracy, was an intrepid traveller who became one of the suffragettes' most active speakers and agitators. In the First World War they went to Serbia with the Scottish Women's Hospitals (SWH) voluntary organisation to provide medical aid to the Serbian Army. When Serbia was invaded they were taken prisoners of war. After being freed, they travelled to Russia with the SWH to drive ambulances right up to the firing line on the Dobruja front. They were devoted lifelong partners but also pioneers of new ways of living and loving. Jack enjoyed numerous liaisons with other women - detailed in her diaries - and especially favoured three-way relationships. But when Eve died, in Serbia soon after the war ended, Jack was devastated. Jack and Eve is a love story set against the backdrop of intense acts of bravery during the First World War.

In this episode we look at how democracy develops in Great Britain with a review of the various reform bills, the development of liberal socialism and the Labour Party, and how women will get the right to vote with the help of Emmeline Pankhurst and the suffragettes.

We've reached a time of rising violence in English history. This episode concentrates firstly, and briefly, on the violence around the growing militancy of the trade union movement, worrying and ugly though not even remotely comparable to what was happening in the US at the time – these things are all relative… Next we return to the women's suffrage movement, to the growing divergence between the Suffragists of Millicent Fawcett's National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies and the Suffragettes of Emmeline Pankhurst's Women's Social and Political Union, as the former stuck to the commitment to campaigning by legal means only and the latter moved increasingly towards violent actions. But the changes were also producing internal splits within the WSPU itself. We talk in this episode about what happened as the Pankhursts fell out with each other, leading to Adela Pankhurst's departure to Australia and Sylvia's expulsion from the WSPU, with her organisation emerging as the East London Federation of Suffragettes, wedded as firmly as ever to the cause of the working class and the Labour Party, and close to one of that party's most fervent supporters of votes for women, George Lansbury. Finally, we mention the one martyr's death for the Suffragette cause, that of Emily Davison, an iconic event in the campaign, though perhaps not quite what many people believe it to have been.

This week we're back with women's suffrage movement, as the conflict heated up and turned a lot uglier. That was partly because one of the main movements, the Suffragette Women's Social and Political Union led by Emmeline Pankhurst, turned to more violent means, leading to an increasing divergence from the biggest organisation, Millicent Fawcett's Suffragist National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. Equally, the ugliness was also down to the increasing violence of the state, force feeding women in prison and displaying brutality at Suffragette demonstrations, notably at the Black Friday event on 18 November 1910. Meanwhile, parliamentary bills to grant women the vote kept failing due to lack of time for the Commons to consider them, and on the third occasion, because the violence turned some MPs previously in favour, against the measure. And another bill, that would have granted universal suffrage for men and was due to be amended to extend to women, failed when the Speaker of the House ruled the amendment out of order, a strange decision which looked much more politically than constitutionally driven. It seems, though, that the Liberal Prime Minister, Asquith, was far from unhappy over this outcome. The suffrage movements realised how lukewarm Liberal support for their demands had become and started to move away from the party. Again, the NUWSS and the WSPU moved in opposite directions: the former towards Labour but the latter, rather more surprisingly, towards the Conservatives.

E160:

This Day in Legal History: Birth of Alice Paul January 11 marks an important date in legal history, as it is the birthdate of Alice Paul, a pivotal figure in the women's suffrage movement in the United States. Born on this day in 1885, in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, Paul grew up in a well-to-do Quaker family known for its commitment to equality and social justice. Her upbringing played a significant role in shaping her advocacy for women's rights.Alice Paul attended Swarthmore College and later went on to earn a doctorate in social work from the University of Pennsylvania. Her academic journey took her to England, where she joined the women's suffrage movement, learning militant tactics from Emmeline Pankhurst's Women's Social and Political Union. Paul returned to the United States in 1910, bringing with her a new vigor and approach to the suffrage movement.In the U.S., she found the existing suffrage movement lacking in dynamism and urgency. To revitalize it, she joined the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) and quickly became the head of their Congressional Committee. Her first major campaign was the organization of a suffrage parade in Washington, D.C., on March 3, 1913, strategically timed to coincide with President Woodrow Wilson's inauguration.Paul's tactics were notably more aggressive than those of her predecessors. She organized pickets, parades, and strikes, which often led to her and other suffragists being arrested. Her efforts, however, significantly boosted public awareness and support for the suffrage cause.In 1916, Paul formed the National Woman's Party (NWP), a more radical group focused solely on securing a constitutional amendment for women's suffrage. The NWP's relentless campaigning, including picketing the White House, was instrumental in leading to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote.Following the suffrage victory, Alice Paul continued her advocacy, authoring the Equal Rights Amendment in 1923, a piece of legislation designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. Though it has yet to be ratified, the ERA remains a testament to her lifelong commitment to gender equality.Alice Paul's legacy is profound, and her strategies and philosophies continue to influence civil rights movements. She passed away on July 9, 1977, and was laid to rest in the Westfield Friends Burial Ground in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, continuing to inspire generations of activists in the fight for equality. Happy 138th birthday, Ms. Paul.The recent legal victory of the IRS in a significant tax fraud case involving syndicated easements could mark a turning point in the government's approach to these controversial tax transactions. In the case, real estate developer Jack Fisher, aged 71, was sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to pay $458 million in restitution by the US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. His co-defendant, James Sinnott, received a 23-year sentence and a similar restitution order.The case centered around a fraudulent scheme using syndicated easements, where partnerships buy land and donate development rights to claim large tax deductions. Fisher and Sinnott's operation, which started in 2008 and expanded in 2013, involved inflated appraisals and forged documents. This type of transaction has seen nearly $36 billion in unwarranted deductions claimed from 2010 to 2018, leading to bipartisan legislation in 2022 to curb such practices.The substantial prison sentences and restitution in this case represent a rare and significant win for the government against a practice that has long eluded effective regulation. The outcome could influence future prosecutions and IRS cases in Tax Court, making it easier for the IRS to win against similar deals. The case highlights the need for the IRS to effectively review returns and manage valuation-based Tax Court cases, which have been both challenging and time-consuming.IRS Criminal Investigation Chief Jim Lee emphasized the agency's commitment to tackling abusive tax shelters using their financial expertise. The magnitude of the sentences and restitution should serve as a deterrent to those still promoting syndicated transactions. Legal experts and observers note that the case exposes the blatant valuation abuses in these transactions and underscores the urgency for individuals involved in similar activities to seek legal advice.The case against EcoVest, a company promoting syndicated easements, was settled in March 2023 without admission of wrongdoing, although the government had alleged $3 billion in improper deductions. The outcome of Fisher and Sinnott's case is seen as a warning to others in the industry, signaling the government's increased scrutiny and potential legal repercussions in such tax evasion schemes.IRS Victory in Land Tax Case Could Speed Government CrackdownThe civil fraud trial involving former U.S. President Donald Trump in New York is nearing its conclusion, with closing arguments scheduled for Thursday. Trump is facing nearly $370 million in penalties as New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges that he and his associates significantly inflated the value of his assets for over a decade to obtain better financial terms from banks. Trump denies these allegations, claiming the trial is politically motivated and a hindrance to his 2024 presidential campaign.Justice Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over the trial, rejected Trump's request to deliver his own closing arguments, aiming to avoid a "campaign speech" scenario. This trial is one of several legal challenges Trump faces amid his campaign to contest the 2024 election against President Joe Biden. Engoron will deliver the verdict later, without a jury, after previously finding Trump liable for fraud in September. The focus of the trial has been on determining the amount Trump should pay in ill-gotten gains.Trump has expressed frustration with Engoron's handling of the trial, including a gag order and a $15,000 fine for violating it. The state's lawyers have presented evidence that Trump consistently overvalued his assets. Trump, in his testimony, defended his valuations and accused James and Engoron of political bias. A notable moment in the trial was the testimony of Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, who claimed Trump directed him to manipulate asset values on financial statements.Trump's children, Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka, also testified, denying involvement in preparing the financial statements. While Ivanka is not a defendant like her brothers, all three have denied any wrongdoing.In addition to this trial, Trump faces potential criminal trials related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, handling of classified documents, and a hush money case in New York. He has pleaded not guilty in all these cases.Trump's $370 million civil fraud trial set to conclude in NY | ReutersU.S. House Republicans are moving towards holding Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, in contempt of Congress. This action follows Hunter's refusal to testify in a closed-door deposition concerning an impeachment probe of his father. Hunter unexpectedly appeared at a House Oversight Committee meeting, causing a stir and leading to heated exchanges between lawmakers.Republican Representative Nancy Mace criticized Hunter for not attending the deposition, accusing him of being afraid. The House Republicans claim that President Biden and his family improperly benefited from policy actions during his vice-presidency from 2009 to 2017, allegations both the White House and Hunter Biden deny.Hunter Biden is facing separate legal issues, including a federal court appearance in Los Angeles regarding unpaid taxes of $1.4 million and charges in Delaware related to lying about drug use while purchasing a handgun. He has pleaded not guilty to the Delaware charges.Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz questioned why the committee refused Hunter's offer to testify then and there. Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, stated that they had previously offered to cooperate with the House committees but were ignored. Lowell criticized the subpoena for a private deposition as a tactic misused by Republicans.The full House usually votes on contempt of Congress certification following a committee vote. Since 2008, the House has held 10 people in contempt, but the Justice Department has only sought indictments for two: Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, advisors to former President Donald Trump. There is no precedent for a sitting president's family member being held in contempt of Congress. Contempt of Congress carries a penalty of up to $100,000 and imprisonment for one to 12 months.House Republicans move toward holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress | ReutersThomas Girardi, a disbarred plaintiffs attorney, is set to stand trial for fraud beginning May 21 in Los Angeles, significantly earlier than the February 2025 date his lawyers requested. The trial's scope will be narrowed to focus on four specific cases brought by Girardi's clients, as decided by the prosecutors to avoid delays. The Assistant US Attorney, Ali Moghaddas, emphasized that the trial would not go beyond the indictment's scope.Judge Josephine Staton of the Central District of California remarked that the case doesn't seem overly complex and has been pending for quite some time. Girardi's public defenders had sought a later trial date to prepare adequately, especially after focusing on assessing Girardi's ability to stand trial due to his cognitive impairment.In early January, Judge Staton determined that Girardi had mild-to-moderate cognitive impairment but had exaggerated his decline to avoid trial. The prosecution expressed concerns that any further delay might again raise questions about Girardi's competency.The discovery process has been extensive, with the government subpoenaing over a dozen banks, the state bar, and bankruptcy trustees for complaints against Girardi and others. However, much of the received documentation was deemed irrelevant to the current case. The prosecution has been asked to highlight key documents for the defense.Girardi faces wire fraud charges in Los Angeles related to allegedly stealing millions from clients in litigation over the 2018 Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX crash. He also faces charges in Illinois. The case will reconvene on February 23 to discuss discovery matters.Girardi Trial Set for May, Scope Is ‘Significantly' Narrowed (1) Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Just 14% of care leavers go to university, compared to 47% of young people who didn't grow up in care, according to a report by the think tank Civitas. The figures have barely changed over the past 10 years and at the current rate of progress, it will take 107 years to close the gap. Two care-experienced young women who did manage to smash the so-called care ceiling share their experiences with Krupa; Rebecca Munro, who graduated with a masters in business and is now an Education Liaison Officer at the University of St Andrews and Lucy Barnes, a barrister.Up to half of women will have a UTI at some point in their life. Earlier this year the NHS launched a new awareness campaign which the filmmaker and author Kate Muir has criticised for not mentioning vaginal oestrogen as a treatment. Kate joins Krupa Padhy alongside Dr Olivia Hum, a GP who is on the Council of the British Menopause Society.Actor Dame Siân Phillips' life and career are explored in a new documentary, Siân Phillips at 90. She joins Krupa to talk about some of her acting roles, including playing Emmeline Pankhurst in a BBC drama in the 1970s, what it was like being married to Peter O'Toole, and what she's doing now.Terri Lyne Carrington, a multi-Grammy-winning drummer and jazz artist, saw a distinct lack of songs by female composers being learned by jazz musicians - and decided to fix it. As a ‘gender justice advocate' she decided to create a project, the New Standards: 101 Lead Sheets By Women Composers, and an accompanying album which won a Grammy, to shine a light on female jazz composers. She joins Nuala McGovern to discuss the project and jazz and gender justice on our special programme about women digging for the truth.Would you swap your trousers for a pair of statement knickers? Julia Hobbs from Vogue tells Krupa about the new trouser-less trend that's been sweeping the catwalks and social media, and the reactions she got when testing it out on the London Underground.As a nation we eat more sprouts than any other country in Europe but it's a vegetable that, like marmite, divides opinion. Anita Rani is joined by plant pathologist Dr Lauren Chappell and the brassica research expert Dr Rachel Wells to explain how sprouts are being engineered to taste sweeter and withstand climate change.

Krupa is joined by Carolyn Stephens, who shares her story of becoming estranged from her elderly father after he met a woman on a singles holiday. He later agreed to grant power of attorney to the woman, which resulted in him being placed in a care home without his family knowing. Journalist Sue Mitchell, who shares the details of the whole affair in an upcoming radio documentary, also joins Krupa to talk about why she wanted to tell Carolyn's story. Co-founder of The Onion Collective, Jess Prendergast, tells Krupa how she and her friends created the social enterprise East Quay Watchet in Somerset after they were frustrated by the lack of opportunities in their local town.

The first couple of years of the Liberal government elected in 1906 saw some achievements but also a great deal of frustration. The Unionist majority in the House of Lords annulled the Liberals' in the Commons. That blocked many of the government's initiatives. This period ended in August 1907 when Campbell-Bannerman, the Prime Minister, started a series of three heart attacks over the next fifteen months. Ultimately, they left him bedbound until, in April 1908, he became the only Prime Minister to die in 10 Downing Street. Meanwhile, in the women's movement, and in particular among the Suffragists of Millicent Fawcett's National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, the NUWSS, dominated by Liberals, there had been great hopes of seeing progress with a Liberal government in power. They were dashed by Campbell-Bannerman's refusal to act. In part, this was down to party considerations, since both organisations were looking not for universal adult suffrage, but only equality of voting rights with men, on the existing basis. That would only enfranchise relatively well-off women, and they would be inclined to vote Conservative. Just as the NUWSS was linked to the Liberals, so the other main organisation, Emmeline Pankhurst's Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) was closely bound to Labour. However, the Pankhursts – both Emmeline and her daughter and closest collaborator Christabel – began to lose faith in Labour from the very time they set up the WSPU. They favoured more militant action, such as intervening in public meetings and heckling speakers. The effectiveness of their campaigning in gaining publicity for the movement even persuaded Fawcett took move towards direct methods, for instance in organising the 3000-strong ‘Mud March' in 1907. But when HH Asquith, an opponent of women's suffrage, took over as Prime Minister from Campbell-Bannerman, and it became clear that the government wasn't going to advance the women's cause anytime soon, the two organisations' ways began to part. The SWPU began to explore far more militant tactics yet, which the NUWSS wouldn't be prepared to adopt. That, though, is for later episodes… Illustration: Christabel Pankhurst, by Ethel Wright, in a portrait exhibited in 1909 National Portrait Gallery 6921 Music: Bach Partita #2c by J Bu licensed under an Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivatives (aka Music Sharing) 3.0 International License.

The first thirty years of the twentieth century were a crucial period in the campaign to win the vote for women. But women's rights concerned far more than just the vote. Across the nineteenth century, a series of remarkable women campaigners had pushed back the boundaries in significant ways, in property rights and status in law especially for married women, as well as in access to higher education and to the professions, notably in medicine. They had also gradually won the right to vote in an increasing range of local elections, making it hard to maintain the opposition to their voting for parliament. At least, hard to maintain on the principle that the nature of women meant that they needed protection from the ugliness of politics. Though, as this episode points out, the objection may not have been exclusively one of principle. At the end of the century, for the first time in Britain a major, unified women's suffrage movement emerged, the Suffragists, led by Millicent Fawcett. But the episode ends with a group peeling off, under the leadership of Emmeline Pankhurst. These far more militant campaigners would be the Suffragettes. Both groups would pursue the campaign in the coming years, though with very different tactics.

In the latest in our series charting the reputations of key historical figures, June Purvis and Lyndsey Jenkins discuss the life and contested legacy of Emmeline Pankhurst – from whether her story obscures that of the wider suffragette movement to whether her political activism really means she can be labelled a ‘terrorist' The HistoryExtra podcast is produced by the team behind BBC History Magazine and BBC History Revealed.

Emmeline Pankhurst and her eldest daughters Christabel and Sylvia, were all incredibly smart, badass, and militant suffragettes, who helped move Britain move toward a woman's right to vote.

This one was definitely worth an encore: Join us as we take a fun dive into the history of the British suffrage movement and the untold story of the women who became martial arts experts and protectors of the movement.  Tony Wolf, author of the graphic novel "Suffrajitsu: Mrs. Pankhurst's Amazons," talks to us about his novel and the marvelous and colorful history of these Suffrajitsu women. Dawn "Sam" Alden and Sean Marlon Newcombe co-host.

A place of “ambition and progressive thinking,” is how Sheona Southern, managing director of Marketing Manchester, describes her city. She points to “trailblazers and change makers” including Alan Turing, L.S. Lowry and Emmeline Pankhurst. Now she's thinking about how the city – which her agency promotes nationally and internationally – can position itself for its next phase of growth. In this podcast recorded at the UKREiiF conference in Leeds, Southern tells EG deputy editor Tim Burke about the factors and influences shaping Manchester's pitch to investors – and the role that the real estate industry has to play in that.

Brian Friel's classic play Dancing at Lughnasa has opened at the National Theatre in London. Telling the story of the five Mundy sisters, two of the actors, more recently on our screens in Derry Girls – newly-Bafta nominated Siobhan McSweeney (AKA Sister Michael) and Louisa Harland (AKA Orla McCool) - join Nuala McGovern in the Woman's Hour studio. UN experts have warned the UK government that its treatment of unaccompanied asylum seeker children is increasing the risk that they could be trafficked and is breaching international law. A statement issued yesterday expressed concern about the fate of children who had gone missing and has urged that the government does more to protect them. Siobhán Mullally is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on trafficking. Laura Trevelyan and 6 members of her family earlier this year travelled to Grenada to issue a public apology to the people of the Caribbean Island for her family's links to the slave trade. The Trevelyan family is donating more than £100,000 in reparations. Now Laura is campaigning full time on the Caribbean's fight for reparatory justice. And later this month she is launching a new group composed of families in Britain, with similar backgrounds, ancestors who were slave owners. Yesterday a 19-year-old who stabbed another teenager to death in a quiet Somerset town was found guilty of murder. Joshua Delbono stabbed 16-year-old Charley Bates in Radstock, Somerset, on 31 July last year. It was Delbono's mother Donna who called the police and told them her son had killed Charley. This is a very serious crime which perhaps made it a clear cut decision for Donna Delbono to call the police but what about when it comes to other issues, if you knew your teenage child was taking or dealing drugs, stealing, or maybe drink driving - Would you ever call the police on your child? If, so at what point would you do it? Former detective superintendent Shabnam Chauhdri and former Conservative MP, parent and now criminal barrister Anna Soubry discuss. You may well have heard of Emmeline Pankhurst who was a leading figure in the suffragette movement, which called for the right for women to vote….But what about Kitty Marshall - one of Emmeline Pankhurst's bodyguards? Emelyne Godfrey's new book Mrs Pankhurst's Bodyguard shines a light on Kitty Marshall and how she helped Mrs Pankhurst to evade the clutches of the authorities as a member of the Women's Social and Political Union's elite team ‘the Bodyguard'.

Welcome back to part two of the mini-series Momentum vs Perfection! This week Tom Rivett-Carnac and Fiona McRaith deepen their exploration of the tensions in the climate movement outlined in episode one, and look to see how we might begin to move past the current impasse to accelerate action in this decisive decade. Journey with Tom, Fiona and their guests as they seek to answer the burning questions that they hope might unlock a trajectory to collaborative, joyful action. Some of these questions include:     Is a rebuilding of trust and understanding among the different actors key?  What part does the ‘moveable middle' play on the spectrum of momentum and perfection.  How do we ensure inclusivity and engagement of those whose voices are not currently represented in the wider movement?  How do these divisions present in the corporate world where the sense of urgency is well embedded but transition to action is hesitant?  What role can impartial actors and data play in pushing forward the momentum and perfection agendas? Can the capitalist spirit ever be used as a force to accelerate change as long as it is rooted in good intention?   Is connection and personal relationships key to building the sense of common purpose and approach we need now?   Helping Tom and Fiona to answer these questions is an incredible line-up of guest speakers:    Justin Forsyth, Co-Founder Count Us In, a radical collaboration of business, faith, sport, and civil society to inspire a billion people to take climate action.

Vida Goldstein was the first woman to campaign for elected office for a national parliament in the English speaking world. It was the election of 1903, Ms Goldstein ran for the Senate in the Australian parliament, and she lost! Her launch speech was at Portland in Victoria and podcast guest Prof Clare Wright read it aloud for the Sydney Writers Festival's 'Friends, Romans, Countrymen' event in 2022.  In this episode, Clare talks about Vida Goldstein's speech, but also her place in the women's suffrage struggle of the 1880s and 90s. She explains quite brilliantly how that period of women's history unfolded, and how Australian women became leaders on the world stage helping other white women win their struggles in the UK and the USA. Vida was an invitee to the Roosevelt White House, and helped and inspired Emmeline Pankhurst. Clare also explains that the early suffragists did not help indigenous women win or in the case of South Australia, retain the vote. They were products of the White Australia' era they inhabited.  The audio of the speech as read by Clare Wright is courtesy of the Sydney Writers Festival. You can purchase tickets to the 2023 festival here.  Clare's books include the Stella Award winning The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka and You Daughters of Freedom.  Join Speakola newsletter here.

That day, a German U-boat sunk the Lusitania, a passenger ship, bringing the USA one step closer to entering World War I.
