Items related to A Suffragette in America: Reflections on Prisoners,...
This book is a collection of Sylvia Pankhurst's writing on her visits to North America in 1911-12. Unlike the standard suffragette tours which focused on courting progressive members of America's social elite for money, Pankhurst got her hands dirty, meeting striking laundry workers in New York, visiting female prisoners in Philadelphia and Chicago and grappling with horrific racism in Nashville, Tennessee. Adored by socialist students and progressive politicians, Pankhurst was also shocked by the dark underbelly of American society. Bringing her own experiences of imprisonment and misogyny from her political work in Britain, she found many parallels between the two countries. These never-before-published writings mark an important stage in the development of the suffragette's thought, which she brought back to Britain to inform the burgeoning working-class suffrage campaign there. The book also includes a contextualising introduction by Katherine Connelly.

About the Author:
E. Sylvia Pankhurst (1882–1960) was an English campaigner for the suffragette movement, a prominent left communist and, later, an activist in the cause of anti-fascism. Katherine Connelly is a writer, historian, and an expert on Sylvia Pankhurst. She is the author of the biography Sylvia Pankhurst: Suffragette, Socialist and Scourge of Empire.
Review:
"Sylvia Pankhurst’s writing on America is vibrant and engaging, combining an impassioned critique of different and reinforcing forms of oppression, with hopes for a democratic future. This volume affords new insights into her life and work by placing the text in the turbulent political context in which it was written. It is an important contribution to history." (Dr. Helen Pankhurst, writer, activist and Sylvia Pankhurst’s granddaughter)
