Sylvia Pankhurst fu una figura centrale del movimento delle suffragette britanniche, diventando successivamente una convinta sostenitrice del comunismo di sinistra e dell'antifascismo. La sua formazione artistica le conferì un occhio attento per l'ingiustizia sociale, che guidò il suo attivismo. Negli ultimi anni della sua vita, si dedicò alla causa del popolo etiope, trasferendosi infine nel paese. Il suo lavoro è contraddistinto da una profonda coscienza sociale e da un impegno nella lotta per gli oppressi.

Reflections on Prisoners, Pickets and Political Change
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.

Discover the revolutionary vision of suffragette and social activist Sylvia Pankhurst in this thought-provoking treatise. Pankhurst advocates for the adoption of a simple, logical international language called Delphos as a way to foster global communication and understanding. She argues that the learning of multiple languages is a barrier to progress and that a single, neutral language would promote peace and cooperation. Pankhurst's ideas are still relevant today and offer a compelling alternative to the dominant linguistic paradigm.
