Along with her mother Emmeline, and her sister Christabel, Sylvia Pankhurst was one of the leading women’s suffrage activists in early twentieth-century England, working with the militant Women’s Social and Political Union. Unlike her family, however, who looked to parliament and spoke to elite and middle-class women’s concerns, Sylvia consistently looked to working women and the labour movement as central to her feminist politics.<br><br>In this illuminating political biography, feminist historian Barbara Winslow recovers Sylvia Pankhurst’s life and work for a new generation of socialists and feminists.
From Pankhurst’s organizing with immigrant and working women in London’s East End to her revolutionary communism and growing internationalism and anti-fascism, Winslow gives us the story of a brilliantly inspiring unorthodox feminist and unorthodox socialist.<br><br>With a preface from internationally recognized socialist feminist historian and activist, Sheila Rowbotham.
