'suffragette and me twice going head to head' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'policy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'policy' could be 'line' (the party line is a party's policy on something) and 'line' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'over' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for emmeline that I've seen is " - - Pankhurst, suffragette".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
