Description

Sylvia Pankhurst: A Life in Resistance Born into one of Britain's most famous activist families, Sylvia Pankhurst was a natural rebel. Her extraordinary life was marked by her own unique brand of radical vision and free spirit. As she fought for votes for women, Sylvia found herself imprisoned and tortured in Holloway prison more than any other suffragette. But the vote was just the beginning of her lifelong defence of human rights. She engaged with political giants, warned of fascism in Europe, championed the liberation struggles in Africa and India, and became an Ethiopian patriot. This biography offers a compelling portrait of one of the greatest unsung political figures of the twentieth century, painting a nuanced picture of Sylvia's personal life as well as her remarkable achievements.
