You had both got up and the doctor made you something to eat in the kitchen. Yaz, Graham and Ryan were sitting and chatting with you too.

You had been explaining to Graham and Ryan about what happened to you all.

How you had ended up spending the night before, you're confrontation with the policemen and who you had ended up meeting.

"That's amazing!" Graham said, "she is a true part of history, especially for women" he smiled.

"Errr, Emmeline Pankhurst, heard of the name before" Ryan said, with a confused expression.

"You do remember what she did?" Yaz asked, shaking her head slightly at him.

"She pushed boundaries, led protests and changed the world for women" you said

"She pushed boundaries, led protests and changed the world for women" you said.

"She led the suffragettes and fought for women's rights to vote" Yaz said.

"And she succeeded, sadly she passed just before the law changed, Emmeline died on the 14th of June 1928. The law changed, allowing women equal voting rights to men on the 2nd of July, that same year" the doctor explained.

"That's so sad how close she became to seeing her dream become a reality" Graham said.

"I'm sure she knew what a difference she made" you replied.

"I remember now!" Ryan said.

You rolled your eyes at him.

"And she's going to be outside the Tardis doors, making a speech to encourage women to join the suffragettes and fight for their rights?" Graham asked.

"Yep" the doctor laughed.

"How cool is that!" you grinned.

"Its probably best to start heading there" the doctor said, taking your hand.

You all exited the Tardis, walking out into Trafalgar square again.

There was a huge crowd of people gathered in its centre.

Most of them were mainly women, but you were glad to see some men being supportive amongst them.

It was much more peaceful this time, everyone was still and calm, looking towards a platform, waiting for Emmeline to appear.

"You made it!" you heard a familiar voice say, beside you.

You turned to see Emmeline standing there, stopping to talk to you, before she headed up to speak.

"We wouldn't have missed it for the world" you grinned.

"It's good to see you again, are these men with you?" she asked.

"Yeah, don't worry, they're friendly and really supportive" you explained.

"Pleasure to meet you" Graham said, shaking her hand.
