Suffragette & activist
Sylvia Pankhurst
Broke with her mother and sister over class and war, organised working women in the East End, and spent her last years in Ethiopia campaigning against the Italian occupation.
Estelle Sylvia Pankhurst was an English feminist, socialist, activist, artist and writer. Following encounters with women-led labour activism in the United States, she worked to organise working-class women in London's East End. This, together with her refusal in 1914 to enter into a wartime political truce with the government, caused her to break with the suffragette leadership of her mother and sister, Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst. Pankhurst welcomed the Russian Revolution and conferred in Moscow with Lenin. But as an advocate of workers' control, she rejected the Leninist party line and criticised the Bolshevik regime.
