Sylvia Pankhurst: A Suffragette in America
£12.99
Reflections on Prisoners, Pickets and Political Change
A collection of Sylvia Pankhurst’s writing about her visits to America in 1911-12. Unlike other suffragette tours to raise money from America’s progressive social elite, Sylvia met striking laundry workers in New York, visited female prisoners In Philadelphia and Chicago, and grappled with horrific racism in Nashville, Tennessee. These never-before-published writings marked an important stage in the suffragettes’ thinking which Sylvia used to help inform the growing working-class suffrage movement in Britain.
