In this well-structured, fluent and lively account, Paula Bartley uses new archival material to assess whether Pankhurst should be seen as a heroine or a tyrant, a conservative or a progressive. Emmeline Pankhurst was the most prominent campaigner for the women's right to vote and was transformed into a popular heroine of the early twentieth century. Early in life she was attracted to socialism, she grew into an entrenched and militant suffragette and ended up as a Conservative Party candidate. This new biography examines the guiding principles that underpinned all of Emmeline Pankhurst's actions, and places her achievements within a wider social and political context.

Together with her mother, Emmeline, Christabel Pankhurst co-led the single sex Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), founded in 1903 and soon regarded as the most notorious of the groupings campaigning for the parliamentary vote for women. A First Class Honours Graduate in Law, the determined and charismatic Christabel, a captivating orator, revitalised the women's suffrage campaign by rousing thousands of women to become suffragettes, as WSPU members were called, and to demand rather than ask politely for their democratic citizenship rights. A supreme tactician, her advocacy of 'militant', unladylike tactics shocked many people, and the political establishment. When an end to militancy was called on the outbreak of war in 1914, she encouraged women to engage in war work as a way to win their enfranchisement. Four years later, when enfranchisement was granted to certain categories of women aged thirty and over, she stood unsuccessfully for election to parliament, as a member of the Women's Party. In 1940 she moved to the USA, with her adopted daughter, and had a successful career there as a Second Adventist preacher and writer. However, she is mainly remembered for being the driving force behind the militant wing of the women's suffrage movement. This full-length biography, the first for forty years, draws upon feminist approaches to biography writing to place her within a network of supportive female friendships. It is based upon an unrivalled range of previously untapped primary sources.
First published in 1987. This collection brings together important articles written by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters during the Suffragette Campaign, 1903-14. Includes a transcript of the 1908 trial of the suffragette leaders, their speeches, and major pamphlets of the Women's Social and Political Union

Sylvia Pankhurst was a pioneering figure of socialist feminism who advocated for universal suffrage and against war. Less well-known is her involvement in the movement for an international auxiliary language. In 1927, Pankhurst published a booklet, Delphos. The Future of International Language, where she described the growing need for a world auxiliary language and her support for Interlingua (Latino sine flexione). A biographically informed study of Delphos shows the modernist, cosmopolitan and democratic vocation of the international auxiliary language movement in the early 20th century. Pankhurst's views on the motivation and principles of an interlanguage-to-come were widely shared by the international auxiliary language community. We present her support for Interlingua as an example of the scientific humanism that dominated the beginnings of interlinguistics, and relate her language activism to her socialist and pacifist stands. ; Sylvia Pankhurst była pionierską postacią socjalistycznego feminizmu, który opowiadał się za powszechnym prawem wyborczym i przeciw wojnie. Mniej znane jest jej zaangażowanie w ruch na rzecz międzynarodowego języka pomocniczego. W 1927 roku Pankhurst opublikowała broszurę Delphos. Przyszłość języka międzynarodowego, w którym opisała rosnące zapotrzebowanie na światowy język pomocniczy i jej wsparcie dla języka Interlingua (Latino sine flexione). Osadzone w kontekście biograficznym studium Delphos pokazuje modernistyczne, kosmopolityczne i demokratyczne powołanie ruchu na rzecz międzynarodowego języka pomocniczego na początku XX wieku. Poglądy Pankhurst na temat motywacji i zasad przyszłego interjęzyka były szeroko rozpowszechnione przez międzynarodową społeczność na rzecz języka pomocniczego. Artykuł prezentuje jej wsparcie dla języka Interlingua jako przykład humanizmu naukowego, który zdominował początki interlingwistyki oraz odnosi jej aktywizm językowy do jej socjalistycznych i pacyfistycznych poglądów.
