Sylvia Pankhurst ♀ Artist, #suffragette and international activist studied here, 1898-1902
Sylvia Pankhurst (1882–1960) was an English feminist and socialist activist and writer. Following encounters with women-led labour activism in the United States, she worked to organise working-class women in London's East End. This, together with her refusal in 1914 to enter into a wartime political truce with the government, caused her to break with the suffragette leadership of her mother and sister, Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst. Pankhurst welcomed the Russian Revolution and consulted in Moscow with Lenin. But as an advocate of workers' control, she rejected the Leninist party line and criticised the Bolshevik dictatorship. Sylvia and her sisters, Christabel Pankhurst and Adela Pankhurst, attended Manchester High School for Girls. In 1903, Pankhurst went on to train as an artist at the Manchester School of Art en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Pankhurst
