She won second place in the 2002 Macmillan Prize for Picture Book Illustration. Early lifeKate Pankhurst was raised in Liverpool, England.[1] She later credited an independent bookshop that she passed on the way to school as introducing her to books.[2] Pankhurst was inspired by an issue of British comic The Beano to create her own comic, and after selling copies to her school friends, decided that she wanted to work in illustration when she grew older. Initially she sought to become a shoe designer, but while undertaking Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees at the University of Central Lancashire in illustration, she realised that she could work as a children's book illustrator.[2] CareerAfter winning second place in the 2002 Macmillan Prize for Picture Book Illustration,[2] she began working on the Mariella Mystery Investigates series. This was the published work which Pankhurst both wrote and illustrated. The series was acquired by Plum Pudding Illustration.[3] She subsequently published through Bloomsbury.[4] Her first non-fiction work Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World led Pankhurst to discover that she was distantly related to suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, whom she featured in the book. Although she thought for a period that there was no connection, another family member confirmed the link through her paternal line. Pankhurst said that she had enjoyed promoting lesser known stories of women in the book, such as Gertrude Ederle and her crossing of the English Channel.[1] As part of promoting the book, she spoke at schools and talked of her writing process,[5][6] as well as appearing at the WayWord festival in Chester.[7] A follow-up book is due to be published in February 2018.[4] Personal lifePankhurst lives near Leeds in a former mill. She has a dalmatian named Olive.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite news|title=Illustrator draws inspiration from women who changed the world|url=http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/analysis/illustrator-draws-inspiration-from-women-who-changed-the-world-1-8110654|accessdate=18 November 2017|work=Yorkshire Post|date=7 September 2016}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=About|url=https://www.katepankhurst.com/about/|publisher=Kate Pankhurst.com|accessdate=18 November 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Williams|first1=Charlotte|title=Orion Children's acquires Pankhurst series|url=http://www.thebookseller.com/news/orion-childrens-acquires-pankhurst-series|accessdate=18 November 2017|work=The Bookseller|date=17 July 2012}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=Wood|first1=Heloise|title=Bloomsbury illustrators open up their sketchbooks|url=http://www.thebookseller.com/news/bloomsbury-illustrators-reveal-how-create-work-569666|accessdate=18 November 2017|work=The Bookseller|date=14 June 2017}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Descendent of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurt visits Castle Newnham School|url=http://www.bedfordshire-news.co.uk/descendent-of-suffragette-emmeline-pankhurt-visits-castle-newnham-school/story-30336308-detail/story.html|accessdate=18 November 2017|work=Bedfordshire on Sunday|date=16 May 2017}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Pupils Hear Story From Descendent of Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst|url=http://www.bedfordtoday.co.uk/news/pupils-hear-story-from-descendent-of-suffragette-emmeline-pankhurst-1-7972076|accessdate=18 November 2017|work=Bedford Today|date=22 May 2017}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=WayWord festival returns for February half term|url=http://www.chesterchronicle.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/wayword-festival-returns-february-half-12449435|accessdate=18 November 2017|work=Chester Chronicle|date=15 January 2017}} External links
