Sylvia
Of the famous suffragette family Pankhurst — Emmeline, Christabel, Adela — Sylvia became the pioneer communist who organised the East End of London, where many working class men also lacked the vote. The pamphlet recounts the contrasting evolutions of the "votes for ladies" of Christabel and Emmeline, and of Sylvia's working-class organising.

Sylvia Pankhurst is well know for being a suffragist. But the political logic of her position — votes not just for a minority of women but more widely — took her towards working-class politics, and communism. An inspiring and important story with many lessons.
