From the Wikipedia article
The Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst Memorial is a memorial in London to Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughter Christabel, two of the foremost British suffragettes. It stands at the entrance to Victoria Tower Gardens, south of Victoria Tower at the southwest corner of the Palace of Westminster. Its main feature is a bronze statue of Emmeline Pankhurst by Arthur George Walker, unveiled in 1930. In 1958 the statue was relocated to its current site and the bronze reliefs commemorating Christabel Pankhurst were added. An image of the statue appeared on a 9d UK postage stamp designed by Clive Abbott which commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Representation of the People Act, 1918 which gave some women the right to vote for the first time.
