Items related to E. Sylvia Pankhurst: Portrait of a Radical
From Library Journal
Sylvia was one of the militant Pankhurst family suffragettes but, breaking with her mother and sister, she turned her attention to working-class women's rights and their immediate needswork, food, child care. But her enthusiasms also included pacifism, which she forsook to fight against fascism, and for a quarter of a century she espoused the cause of Ethiopia. A Pan-Africanist, she spoke against apartheid in the 1950s. She was also a journalist and author. In all these activities, she led with her heart, not her head. The author's painstaking investigation has pulled together Pankhurst's many lives. The book will be of interest to students of 20th century Africa as well as to those interested in British social protest. A deeper exploration of the interesting psychology of this radical rebel in a radical family remains to be written. For academic and research libraries.

From Publishers Weekly
Pankhurst's (1882-1960) career was virtually synonymous with English social protest in her time. She campaigned implacably for women's suffrage, the rights of unmarried mothers, pacifism, communism and, finally and somewhat incongruously, the cause of Emperor Haile Selassie. "A lucid, well-documented biography," commented PW . Photos.
