Sylvia Pankhurst

English activist, writer and artist (1882–1960)

Estelle Sylvia Pankhurst (5 May 1882 – 27 September 1960) was an English feminist, socialist, activist, artist 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.
