This feature length documentary chronicles Sylvia Pankhurst’s life as
suffragette and revolutionary socialist. She was imprisoned more than any other
suffragette for her tireless campaigning and unlike her mother Emmeline and
sister Christabel, who dropped the fight for votes for women to support the
1914 war effort, Sylvia refused to sacrifice the fight for universal suffrage
until it was won. Her opposition to the war and her internationalism were and
remain exemplary and her bravery in fighting for equality and opposing all
misanthropic trends puts her, as one interviewee put it, ‘up there with the
angels.’ >> www.worldwrite.org.uk/sylviapankhurst
