A Suffragette in America

Sylvia Pankhurst's writings from her 1911-12 visits to North America reveal her commitment to grassroots activism, diverging from typical suffragette approaches. Instead of seeking support from the elite, she engaged directly with marginalized communities, meeting striking laundry workers, visiting female prisoners, and confronting systemic racism in Nashville. This collection highlights her dedication to social justice and provides a unique perspective on the suffrage movement's intersection with labor rights and racial issues.
