The Red Suffragette: Sylvia Pankhurst

"I am going to fight capitalism even if it kills me. It is wrong that people like you should be comfortable and well fed while all around you people are starving." - Sylvia Pankhurst

Learn about and celebrate the great socialist and feminist organiser Sylvia Pankhurst at Workers' Liberty's February London Forum.

2018 marks a century since the first great victory of the women's suffrage movement: the 1918 Representation of the People Act.

Sylvia Pankhurst broke with the 'respectable' wing of the women's suffrage movement, and threw herself into organising a socialist movement of working-class women in London's East End for real equality and freedom.

Socialist activist and writer Jill Mountford will give a presentation on the Red Suffragette, and introduce a discussion the lessons we can learn from her work today.

After the meeting, join us for pizza in the bar.
