	Unveiling Sylvia Pankhurst
		The Sylvia Pankhurst Memorial Committee is unveiling its proposed statue to commemorate the life and contribution of Sylvia Pankhurst - suffragette, socialist and anti-racist.
		Sylvia Pankhurst (1882-1960) was a socialist feminist who during the campaign for women's suffrage at the turn of the 20th century not only braved the horrors of hunger striking and forcible feeding, but also founded and built a remarkable women's organisation in the East End of London.
		Sylvia's strategy, which linked class and gender, did not find favour with the most famous of the suffrage organisations, the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), to which she belonged and the East London Federation was affiliated.

	Pankhurst
		The Pankhurst name is mainly associated with the Suffragette Movement, as Christabel Pankhurst and her mother Emmeline (“Mrs Pankhurst”) were the most prominent leaders of the Votes for Women movement in the late 19th and early 20th century.
		Pankhurst proposed household soviets, so that “mothers and those who are organisers of the family life of the community” should be represented—a useful reminder that not everyone would be included in work-based bodies.
		Pankhurst and the CP(BSTI) were, however, convinced by Lenin's arguments, and most of the organisation's branches joined the new CPGB soon after it was founded, though she continued to produce the Workers' Dreadnought as a separate paper.

	Sylvia Pankhurst - Suffragette and class fighter
		The life of Sylvia Pankhurst is rich in experience for all activists in the labour movement.
		The names of the Pankhurst family are synonymous with the struggle to win the vote for women, but what distinguished Sylvia Pankhurst's approach from that of her mother Emmeline and her sister Christabel were class issues.
		At this time Sylvia's main desire was to paint, and perhaps it was a tour of Northern towns in 1907, painting the working class at home and at work, that brought home to her the exploitation in industry, agriculture and, through bad housing conditions, the lack of sanitation.

	Emmeline Pankhurst Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Pankhurst soon discovered that processions to the Houses of Parliament and hecklings and disruptions of election meetings produced police countermeasures and thus newspaper publicity favorable to her cause.
		Pankhurst called this escalation "guerrilla warfare" against property "to make England and every department of English life insecure and unsafe." She stopped short only of endangering human life.
		Finally, after Sylvia Pankhurst's expulsion from the movement, on grounds of her socialism and organizational activity among the lower classes, the ministry made her a formal promise of government support.

	About Sylvia Pankhurst
		Sylvia’s strategy, which linked class and gender, did nt find favour with the most famous of the suffragette organisations, the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU), to which she belonged and to which the East London Federation was affiliated.
		Sylvia, almost alone among the white left, rallied to its cause and launched in 1936 the first edition of the “New Times and Ethiopia News”, a weekly paper which remained in circulation for 20 years and which, at its height sold 40,000 copies weekly.
		We believe that Sylvia’s strategy, based as it was on an alliance between class and gender, did far more to win the vote for all women than the more elitist and ultimately diversionary politics of her mother and elder sister.

		Sylvia had moved to the East End two years earlier in 1912, convinced of the need for "the creation of a women's movement in that great abyss of poverty (that) would be a call and a rallying cry to the rise of similar movements in all parts of the country".
		Sylvia was expelled from the CPGB on release from prison.
		Sylvia Pankhurst should not be seen as extraordinary because she was a woman, though she was an extraordinary woman, but because she was an extraordinary human being and an equal to any man of her time.

	The Sylvia Pankhurst Memorial Committee
		Sylvia Pankhurst was one of the most prominent suffragettes and clearly deserves this recognition which is long overdue.
		Returning home, I believe that Sylvia's strategy, based as it was on an alliance between class and gender, did far more to win the vote for all women than the more elitist and, ultimately, probably diversionary politics of her mother and sister.
		Given that Sylvia was expelled from the WSPU, the organisation controlled by her mother and elder sister, she should not be in the same place as her sister and mother but we feel it is appropriate that she is close to them.

		Sylvia rejected this, as she also rejected the dictatorial leadership of the WSPU by Emmeline and Christabel.
		Sylvia also rejected the anti-men stance of the WSPU and its patriotic support of the first world war, the issue which split both the WSPU and the Pankhurst family in 1914.
		Sylvia and the ELFS moved ever leftwards from their contact with the labour movement, and drew revolutionary conclusions from the war, the Irish struggle for national independence, the Russian Revolution and the Labour Party's failure on all three.

	Dave Widgery: Sylvia Pankhurst (1979)
		Sylvia Pankhurst’s political progress took her from the drawing rooms of 19th century Manchester radicalism to the cramped streets of East London in the First World War, from suffrage to revolutionary socialism, from the circle of William Morris and Keir Hardie to polemics with Lenin and Gramsci.
		Sylvia Pankhurst reported that the split came because “we had more faith in what could be done by stirring up working women than was felt at headquarters, where they had more faith in what could be done for the vote by people of means and influence.
		Sylvia Pankhurst had moved in 1909 to live at Bow at the house of the Paynes, who were both shoemakers, and began to build suffragette branches with the help of a handful of middle-class friends who shared her politics.
