Campaigners on women's issues have highlighted that there's scant mention of the rights for women and girls in any of the political party manifestos for 2024 General Election.  They want the public to act NOW.

The Suffragette - The History of the Women's Militant Suffrage Movement by E. Sylvia Pankhurst audiobook. This history of the Women's Suffrage agitation is written at a time when the question is in the very forefront of British politics. What the immediate future holds for those women who are most actively engaged in fighting for their political freedom no one can foretell, but one thing is certain: complete victory for their cause is not far distant. When the long struggle for the enfranchisement of women is over, those who read the history of the movement will wonder at the blindness that led the Government of the day to obstinately resist so simple and obvious a measure of justice. The men and women of the coming time will, I am persuaded, be filled with admiration for the patient work of the early pioneers and the heroic determination and persistence in spite of coercion, repression, misrepresentation, and insult of those who fought the later militant fight.

In this essay, Clara Vlessing looks at the cultural memory of Louise Michel (1830-1905). The essay compares Michel's domestic remembrance with her international afterlives to explore how an anarchist individual is adopted, appropriated or taken as the nominal leader for many different causes.  Clara Vlessing is a lecturer in comparative literature at Utrecht University. Her most recent article “Campaigns to Remember: Writing in the Afterlives of Sylvia Pankhurst” appears in Nineteenth Century Gender Studies. Her chapter "Scarcity in Visual Memory: Creating a Mural of Sylvia Pankhurst” is included in the newly published edited collection The Visual Memory of Protest (Amsterdam University Press).  Our music comes from Them'uns (featuring Yous'uns).

Welcome back to part two of the mini-series Momentum vs Perfection! This week Tom Rivett-Carnac and Fiona McRaith deepen their exploration of the tensions in the climate movement outlined in episode one, and look to see how we might begin to move past the current impasse to accelerate action in this decisive decade. Journey with Tom, Fiona and their guests as they seek to answer the burning questions that they hope might unlock a trajectory to collaborative, joyful action. Some of these questions include:     Is a rebuilding of trust and understanding among the different actors key?  What part does the ‘moveable middle' play on the spectrum of momentum and perfection.  How do we ensure inclusivity and engagement of those whose voices are not currently represented in the wider movement?  How do these divisions present in the corporate world where the sense of urgency is well embedded but transition to action is hesitant?  What role can impartial actors and data play in pushing forward the momentum and perfection agendas? Can the capitalist spirit ever be used as a force to accelerate change as long as it is rooted in good intention?   Is connection and personal relationships key to building the sense of common purpose and approach we need now?   Helping Tom and Fiona to answer these questions is an incredible line-up of guest speakers:    Justin Forsyth, Co-Founder Count Us In, a radical collaboration of business, faith, sport, and civil society to inspire a billion people to take climate action. Farhana Yamin, Lawyer/Author/Activist & Keynote Speaker. Farhana is an internationally recognized environmental lawyer, climate change and development policy expert.

Welcome to another episode of Outrage + Optimism, where we examine issues at the forefront of the climate crisis, interview change-makers, and transform our anger into productive dialogue about building a sustainable future. This week Tom Rivett-Carnac introduces the first of his two-part series on Momentum vs Perfection by looking at the different theories of change within the climate movement and asking if and how they can co-exist to drive the level of scale and action needed in this decisive decade. He is joined on this complex and emotive journey by guest co-host Fiona McRaith, Manager of Engagement & Delivery and Special Assistant to the President & CEO at climate philanthropy fund Bezos Earth Fund. Fiona brings a (significantly younger) Gen Z perspective to this thought-provoking discussion. Our co-hosts speak with a series of esteemed guests on this timely and important question, including:    Helen Pankhurst, Senior Advisor at international humanitarian agency CARE International, women's rights activist, and the direct descendant of Emmeline Pankhurst and Sylvia Pankhurst, both leaders in the suffragette movement  Author, educator, environmentalist, and Co-Founder of international environmental organization 350.org, Bill McKibben  Environmental activist and Co-Founder of global environmental movement Extinction Rebellion, Gail Bradbrook Jerome Foster II, Co-founder of Waic Up and youngest member of the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council  Director of mission-driven consulting firm Reos Partners,  Adam Kahane Previous Director of Strategy for the Cabinet Office for COP 26 (the United Nations' annual climate conference) Charles (Charlie) Ogilvie    Don't miss Part One of this incredible and timely conversation, including insights from previous movements, generational collaboration, the value of civil disobedience, the role of data and measurement, and whether agreement between sides is necessary for advancement. And be sure to look out for the final episode of this mini-series next week, in which our co-hosts, with the help of their guests, will hopefully draw some conclusions to help guide us in these crucial years.   It's official, we're a TED Audio Collective Podcast - Proof!

La Women Social and Political Union (WSPU) est créée en 1903 par Emeline Pankhurst et ses filles Christabel et Sylvia. Les couleurs de la WSPU deviennent un symbole pour toutes les suffragettes : « Le violet ... est la couleur royale. Il représente le sang royal qui coule dans les veines de chaque suffragette, l'instinct de liberté et de dignité… le blanc représente la pureté dans la vie privée et publique […] le vert est la couleur de l'espoir ».   Le logo de la WSPU créé par Sylvia Pankhurst, incarne dans ses couleurs le message du parti comme un code secret : Green White Violet – Give Women Votes. La WSPU est le 1er mouvement à utiliser des couleurs pour créer une identité politique.   Sylvia Pankhurst réalise l'emblématique Holloway Brooch en argent qui représente la « herse » la porte suspendue également symbole de la chambre des communes. Au centre la flèche,  Broad arrow, aux couleurs de la WSPU rappelle le signe présent sur les uniformes des prisons britanniques. Elle est encadrée latéralement par deux chaînes qui rappellent la détention (Holloway est une prison pour femme ). La Holloway Brooch est remises aux suffragettes à leur sortie de prison.    Le WSPU crée une décoration pour les suffragettes grévistes de la faim dans une boîte violette avec l'inscription : « En reconnaissance d'une action courageuse, par laquelle, grâce à l'endurance jusqu'à la dernière extrémité de la faim et des difficultés, un grand principe de justice politique a été justifié », la médaille se suspend sur un ruban vert, blanc et violet à partir d'une barrette en argent gravée de l'inscription « For Valour ». Sur le ruban, les barres unies indiquent les arrestations et les barres colorées, une alimentation forcée, gravée à l'arrière de la mention « fed by force » avec la date. La médaille comporte sur l'avant la mention « Hunger Strike » et au revers le nom de la suffragette.  Le Musée de Londres a dans son fond la décoration de Lady Constance Lytton. Arrêtée une première fois le 9 octobre 1909, pour avoir jeté une pierre sur la voiture de Lloyd George, elle entame une grève de la faim mais n'est pas nourrie de force parce que c'est une lady. Indignée par cette inégalité sociale, elle se déguise en roturière et sous le speudo de « Jane Warton » est arrêtée le 14 janvier 1910 pour avoir manifesté. Elle sera nourrie de force plusieurs fois. Sa décoration indiquent toutes ces violences, ses 2 noms ainsi que la devise du WSPU « Deeds not words ».   Pour les suffragettes aisées, des bijoux sont fabriqués dans une tradition joaillière et les couleurs de la WSPU sont symbolisées par l'améthyste, le diamant et le péridot. Dans le catalogue Mappin & Webb de Noël 1908, il y a une page dédiée aux "Suffragette Jewellery", avec cinq pièces en émail et pierres précieuses, des broches et des pendentifs sertis d'or.   Le collier que j'ai choisi pour la vignette de ce podcast, qui a été présenté à Drouot est un pendentif ajouré où l'on retrouve les couleurs du WSPU dans les pampilles de gouttes de péridot ovale, de diamants taille ancienne et de tourmaline mauve taille poire. Sa boîte originale porte l'inscription Bessie from Alfred 15 sept 1910. On peut l'attribuer à Elisabeth Watson qui était une des plus jeunes suffragettes doublée de la plus jeune joueuse de cornemuse du monde.    Pour ce bijou, l'origine est donc attestée. Car c'est bien la difficulté des bijoux de suffragettes que l'on retrouve aujourd'hui. Les gemmes et l'émail qui illustrent les couleurs de la WSPU étaient aussi celles que l'époque édouardienne plébiscitait. Les inscriptions sont un moyen de les authentifier : together at the vote, stand up together, women for vote, come on. D'autre fois ils comportent des dates, les années où le droit de vote a progressé.  Les bijoux des suffragettes sont très demandés par les collectionneurs. Ce sont des bijoux rares qui méritent qu'on les recherchent pour les porter respectueusement en souvenir de ce combat pour le droit de vote des femmes.

As Scotland's First Minister announces her resignation after nearly a decade in the job we consider her legacy, the reasons for and the timing of her decision to go and consider who might take over with the Scotsman's Political Editor Alistair Grant and journalist Ruth Wishart. The musical Sylvia has just opened at the Old Vic celebrating the life of Sylvia Pankhurst – feminist, activist, pacifist, socialist, rebel who was at the heart of the Suffragette movement, with her sister Christabel and mother Emmeline. Actor, singer and musical theatre performer Sharon Rose who plays this lesser-known Pankhurst discusses her role. Woman's Hour is in the process of putting together our Power List for 2023 - this year focussed on finding 30 of the most powerful women in sport. But what about the power of sport itself? Hayley Compton and Jessica Morgan who say sport got them through very difficult times in their lives explain why. What is Europe doing to tackle the issue of femicide? Since the start of 2023, there has been a wave of news coverage in Europe on violence against women, and specifically, femicide, the act of killing a woman because she is a woman. The Spanish government has called its second emergency meeting of domestic violence experts after the murder of six women and a young girl since the start of January. And in France, 18 women have been murdered this year, according to the organisation ‘Femicide by a partner or ex partner'. This is despite both countries having introduced measures to fight against gender based violence. Mélina Huet, a journalist at the French news channel LCI and director of the documentary on femicides ‘Protect the Living, Honour the Dead' and Susana Pavlou, the director of the Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies join Anita to discuss.

Sylvia is a new hip hop, funk and soul musical telling the story the fight for women's – and universal – suffrage, through the life of Sylvia Pankhurst. It wasn‘t just the patriarchy she had to struggle with, but her family, especially her mother, the indomitable Emmeline. Kate Prince has co-written, choreographed and directed it. She talks to Samira Ahmed about the story and the contemporary resonances of her show. In 2021, casting director Lucy Pardee won her first BAFTA for her work on the coming-of-age drama, Rocks, which was celebrated in part for the range and skill of its young cast. She's now up for another BAFTA for new film Aftersun, which tells the story of a troubled single father through the eyes of his 11-year-old daughter. She discusses the art of 'street casting' actors for their cinema debuts. Reporter Will Chalk goes back stage at the Brit Awards to meet production designer Misty Buckley, who specialises in creating sets for huge spectacles like the Brits, the Commonwealth Games and the Grammys.

Sylvia Pankhurst (1882-1960) was a member of a famed British suffragette family known for their militant civil disobedience. She saw the fight for suffrage as universal, and became an important figure in opposing fascism and the Italian invasion of Ethiopia.Women's contributions to peacekeeping efforts are often overlooked, but no more. This month on Womanica we're highlighting women who have spearheaded peacekeeping initiatives all over the world — from India to South Africa to the United States.

This is the continuation of our conversation with Winston James about his latest work Claude McKay: The Making of a Black Bolshevik. In part 1 we talked about McKay's origins in Jamaica up through the Red Summer of 1919 when he would pen his famous poem “If We Must Die.” In this conversation we talk about McKay's time in Harlem, his relationship with Hubert Harrison, his support of - and political differences with - the Garvey movement or the UNIA. In that vein we also talk about McKay's theorization of the relationship between class struggle, anticolonial struggle, and anticapitalist revolution. And relatedly his support of movements for Irish nationalism, Indian independence, and Black Nationalism.  James also shares McKay's experiences as a worker, as a member of the Wobblies or the IWW, and as a member of Sylvia Pankhurst's Workers Socialist Federation in the UK and some associated discussion of syndicalism and leftwing communism. We close with some reflections on McKay's attitudes towards Bolshevism over time, especially after Lenin. We really enjoyed Winston James book and highly recommend it to people who are interested in McKay's life or just in history including debates of the Black left - and communist left - in the early 20th century. You can pick up Winston James' Claude McKay: The Making of a Black Bolshevik which is currently on sale from our friends at Massive Bookshop. A final reminder as this is likely to be our final episode of this month. October is the 5 year anniversary of Millennials Are Killing Capitalism. We had set a goal of adding 50 patrons this month. And with 2 days left is attainable. We need just 4 more patrons to hit that goal. You can help us hit that goal for as little as $1 a month or $10.80 per year at patreon.com/millennialsarekillingcapitalism. A new post will be up on patreon about it this week, but our Black Marxism study group will start up in November, and our 5 year anniversary episode is still on its way.

The pamphlet recounts the contrasting evolutions of the "votes for ladies" of Christabel and Emmeline, and of Sylvia's working-class organising.

Helen Pankhurst is a celebrated women's right's activist and author – a Special Advisor on Gender Equality to the leading global aid organisation CARE International, and has served as a fellow of the London School of Economics, a visiting professor at Manchester Metropolitan and as Chancellor of the University of Suffolk.She is also of course the great-granddaughter of Emmeline Pankhurst and granddaughter of Sylvia Pankhurst, leaders of the British suffragette movement.

Join us as we take a fun dive into the history of the British suffrage movement and the untold story of the women who became martial arts experts and protectors of the movement.  Tony Wolf, author of the graphic novel "Suffrajitsu: Mrs. Pankhurst's Amazons," talks to us about his novel and the marvelous and colorful history of these Suffrajitsu women. 

Venessa Scott is a Manchester-based prolific artist and a specialist in creative education whose reputation and artistic practice have grown significantly in recent years, leading to two commissions for Blue Peter, one of which involved her designing a Blue Peter badge. Venessa is also behind one of the UK's tallest murals, celebrating the pioneering work of Sylvia Pankhurst. She's won awards, become a Great Mancunian – which is a local project by Manchester College to celebrate people who have had a significant cultural and creative impact on the City of Manchester and its surrounding areas – and has been appointed as an official ambassador for The Pankhurst Centre. But despite all this success, Venessa has gone through unimaginable suffering and loss of late. Even for this podcast, she told us of further sadness. But as always, she is positive, and full of and warmth and determination. This strength perhaps comes from having a solid family and local community. It's perhaps why Venessa dedicates so much time to helping others, as she and her sister also run Seven Three One, a non-profit organisation that uses creativity to further the education and skills of serving prisoners, ex-offenders and disengaged young people. Here, Venessa chats about finding her voice despite the sexism or racism she has sometimes endured. About not having a seat at that mythical table and why it's important to build our own, welcoming everyone else to join us. We hear why it took Venessa a while to declare herself an artist. And we talk of her work, colour, pattern, doing what we love, having confidence, speaking up, speaking out – and why great things can happen if we let down our armour, be ourselves and embrace all the joyful wonderful things that make us unique and special.

durée : 00:29:59 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Philippe Garbit - "Mémorables", cinquième et dernier volet d'une série d'entretiens avec Louise Weiss, journaliste, femme de lettres, féministe et femme politique française, menée par Patrice Galbeau en 1981. Elle racontait avec panache son combat avec les suffragettes dans les années 1930. _"Les mains des femmes sont-elles bien faites pour le pugilat de l'arène publique ? Plus que pour manier le bulletin de vote, les mains des femmes sont faites pour être baisées, baisées dévotement quand ce sont celles des mères, amoureusement quand ce sont celles des femmes et des fiancées : . Séduire et être mère, c'est pour cela qu'est faite la femme". _ * Ainsi s'exprimait Alexandre Bérard, sénateur de l'Ain et Vice-président du Sénat, dans un rapport rédigé en 1919, portant sur plusieurs propositions de loi tendant à accorder aux femmes l'électorat et l'éligibilité. Il fallut attendre l'année 1944 pour que les femmes françaises obtiennent le droit de vote, et 1945 pour que leurs "délicates mains" placent enfin un bulletin dans une urne électorale...  En 1981, dans un entretien accordé à Patrice Galbeau, Louise Weiss avait raconté de quelle façon elle s'était engagée dans le combat suffragiste, en 1934, après seize années passées à diriger l'Europe nouvelle, la revue qu'elle avait co-fondée. Elle rappelait qu'après sa fameuse "campagne d'ironie" menée avec les suffragettes françaises, la Chambre des députés avait, à l'unanimité, en juillet 1936, voté un texte en faveur du droit de vote des femmes - texte qui ne fut jamais, hélas, inscrit à l'ordre du jour du Sénat. En 1934, je suis écoeurée d'entendre Goebbels défendre les thèses hitlériennes à la tribune de la Société des Nations et être applaudi par ceux qui avaient ovationné Briand deux ans plus tôt. Quels mensonges ! Quelle hypocrisie ! J'en ai cassé ma plume. J'ai quitté le journal que je menais avec tant de succès et je me suis lancée dans le combat pour l'égalité politique et civique des hommes et des femmes. Elle est conseillée par la suffragette et féministe anglaise Sylvia Pankhurst qui lui dit : "Il faut que vous soyez à la une tous les jours, rien ne résistera à ce fait-là ". Je me suis demandée comment être à la une tous les jours et je me suis dit : par l'ironie. Cela ne cause de dommages à personne, cela ameute les foule, cela ouvre et maintient la discussion continuellement. (...) Nous avons distribué des bouquets de myosotis aux députés, puis des chaussettes reprisées aux sénateurs (...). Tout le monde riait.  Cette "campagne d'ironie" plutôt que de violence correspondait mieux selon elle à la culture latine : Ma campagne d'ironie a duré près de quatre ans, toutes les semaines je paraissais sur les écrans des actualités avec les suffragettes. Nous devenions très populaires et finalement les hommes politiques ont commencé à nous redouter... Barrage de la rue Royale, blocage du départ de la course du Grand prix, les actions des suffragettes s'enchaînaient et la cause progressait. En juillet 1936, la Chambre des députés votait un texte en faveur du droit de vote aux femmes - qui ne fut jamais, hélas, inscrit à l'ordre du jour du Sénat.  Par Patrice Galbeau  Réalisation Sylvie Migault Mémorables - Louise Weiss, 5 : la suffragette (1ère diffusion : 31/03/2003) Avec en archives, la voix de Louise Weiss (montage d'entretiens datant de 1981)  Indexation web : Sandrine England, Documentation Sonore de Radio France Archive Ina-Radio France

On this episode we discuss the hidden class history of the suffragettes and the role of working class mass struggle in winning the vote. Too often the official histories of the suffrage movement brush over the bitter splits and divisions within both the campaign and the Pankhurst family. Roz is joined in discussion by veteran socialist Moira Leahy to uncover these important debates and discuss the politics of challenging sexism and fighting for socialism.    Reading How working class women won the vote by Judy Cox http://isj.org.uk/how-working-class-women-won-the-vote/  Sylvia Pankhurst - a rebel in the fight for votes by Isabel Ringrose - https://socialistworker.co.uk/art/50653/Sylvia+Pankhurst+++a+rebel+in+the+fight+for+votes  Hosted by Roz Ward.

Suffragetterna arbetade för kvinnliga rösträtt i Storbritannien i början av 1900-talet under parollen ”handling inte ord”. Det var en militant rörelse, som frustrerade över att deras krav på rösträtt ignorerades av politikerna, valde våld som ett medel i kampen för kvinnlig rösträtt.Suffragetterna var en del av rösträttsorganisationen Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) som bildades 1903. Med tiden blev suffragetterna allt våldsammare i sitt arbete för kvinnans rättigheter. Det handlade om fönsterkrossning, häckling vid politiska möten, stenkastning, bomber och bränder.”Om män använder sprängmedel och bomber för sina syften kallas det krig och kastandet av en bomb som förstör andra människor beskrivs som en ärorik och heroisk handling. Varför ska en kvinna inte använda samma vapen som män. Det är inte bara krig vi har deklarerat. Vi kämpar för en revolution”, skrev en av ledarna Christabel Pankhurst 1913.I en nymixad version av det 12:e avsnittet av podcasten Historia Nu samtalar programledare Urban Lindstedt med frilansjournalisten och författaren Anna Larsdotter om suffragettrörelsen. Hon har bland annat skrivit boken Kvinnor i strid, som berättar om kvinnor som på olika sätt deltagit i krig – från 1600-tal till idag.Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) grundade 1903 tillsammans med döttrarna Christabel Pankhurst och Sylvia Pankhurst rösträttsorganisationen Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), vars karismatiska och maktfullkomliga ledare hon blev.Redan i det klassiska Grekland saknade kvinnorna tillsammans med slavarna rösträtt. Och fortfarande på 1800-talet saknade kvinnor rösträtt i hela världen. Först ut med kvinnlig rösträtt var Nya Zeeland 1893, följt av Australien 1903, Finland 1906 och Norge 1913.I Storbritannien hade grupper kämpat för kvinnliga rösträtt från 1840-talet. En rad lagförslag om kvinnlig rösträtt röstades ner under 1800-talet och början på 1900-talet. Det var ur frustrationen över att kraven på kvinnlig rösträtt ignorerades gång på gång som den mer våldsamma suffragetterörelsen utvecklades.Suffragetter brände ner en paviljong i Kew Garden – den första av fler än fyrtio mordbränder under åren 1913–14. En suffragette kastade en yxa mot premiärminister Asquith och vid ett annat tillfälle angrep en kvinna honom med en hästpiska.Suffragetten Mary Richardson högg sönder en målning av Diego Velázquez, nakenstudien ”Venus i spegeln” på National Gallery. Andra aktivister skar av telegraf- och telefonledningarna mellan London och Glasgow. Finansminister Lloyd Georges hus utsattes för ett bombattentat, vilket gjorde att Emmeline Pankhurst greps och dömdes till tre års fängelse för uppvigling.1913 åkte Emily Wilding Davison till galoppbanan Epson Downs med en suffragettflagga i handen och en lindad runt kroppen, under kappan. Kungens häst som föll när hon försökte ta tyglarna och Emely Wildning Davidson skadades så svårt att hon dog fyra dagar senare. Tusentals vitklädda suffragetter deltog i hennes begravning samtidigt som ledaren Emmeline Pankhurst tog avstånd från aktionen eftersom den inte var sanktionerad uppifrån.De våldsamma protesterna ledde till att många suffragetter fängslades och i fängelset tvångsmatades de regelmässigt när de hungerstrejkade. Tvångsmatningen går inte att definiera som något annat än tortyr.När första världskriget bröt ut lade suffragetterna ner sina aktioner och de döpte också om sin kamptidning till Britannica.En lag om kvinnliga rösträtt godkändes av andra kammaren i juni 1917 och av Överhuset i februari 1918. Enligt denna lag fick alla kvinnor som fyllt 30 år eller äldre rösträtt. En lag som gjorde det möjligt för kvinnor att sitta i andra kammaren kom kort efteråt. År 1928 sänktes rösträttsåldern för kvinnor till 21 år.I Sverige fick bara män som hade en viss inkomst eller egendom rösta på 1800-talet. Dessutom var rösträtten graderad – rika fick flera röster. Även företag hade rösträtt i kommunerna. Under början av 1900-talet förändrades detta stegvis i Sverige och 1919 fattade man beslut om kvinnlig rösträtt och valbarhet och de första valen där kvinnor deltog av 1921.Musik: Oh Dear performed by Gerri Gribi See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rachel Holmes joined me on the podcast to discuss the life of British suffragette and socialist Sylvia Pankhurst. Sylvia found her voice fighting militantly for votes for women. The vote was just the beginning of her lifelong defence of human rights, from her early warnings of the rise of fascism in Europe, to her campaigning against racism and championing of the liberation struggles in Africa and India. Sylvia's adventures in America, Soviet Russia, Scandinavia, Europe and East Africa made her a true internationalist. She was one of the great minds of the modern era, engaging with political giants, including Churchill, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, George Bernard Shaw, W.E.B. Du Bois and Haile Selassie.Subscribe to History Hit and you'll get access to hundreds of history documentaries, as well as every single episode of this podcast from the beginning (400 extra episodes).

Biographers of Tom Stoppard, Sylvia Pankhurst and a little known SS soldier compare notes. How does the process differ if your subject is alive, if their story has already been enshrined in history, if they were active in the Nazi regime? Anne McElvoy talks to three authors about researching and writing a life history and the journeys it has taken them on from a Nazi letter discovered in an armchair, to the play scripts by a living dramatist who fled Nazi occupation in Czechoslovakia and has become part of the British arts establishment to the campaigning travels of a suffragette to Soviet Russia, Scandinavia, Europe & East Africa. Professor Dame Hermione Lee's latest biography is called Tom Stoppard: A Life. It's Book of the Week from October 5th on Radio 4 and BBC Sounds. She has previously written on Edith Wharton, Virginia Woolf and Penelope Fitzgerald. Rachel Holmes is the author of Sylvia Pankhurst: Natural Born Rebel. Her previous book was Eleanor Marx: A Life Daniel Lee has written The SS Officer's Armchair: In Search of a Hidden Life.

Sylvia sheds light on the little explored divide in the family at the heart of the suffragette movement in Britain in the early part of the 20th Century. It charts Sylvia Pankhurst’s split with her own family over the issue of class involvement in the struggle for women to get the vote - her belief that the suffrage movement should include working women was put into practice when she founded a toy factory in the East End of London. Here, she employed only women but paid them a man’s wage. Written by Lesley Strachan and directed by Colin Guthrie, Sylvia is a powerful exploration of the relationship between Sylvia, Emmeline and Christabel.

Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour movement promised radical change but ended disastrously with the 2019 general election. Labour insider and activist Owen Jones looks back over the last decade and tells Andrew Marr why the election went so badly wrong. In his new book, This Land: The Story of a Movement, he also reflects on the future of the Left in an age of upheaval. Sylvia Pankhurst was born into one of Britain’s most famous activist families. Her biographer Rachel Holmes argues that, although less well-known than her mother and sister, Sylvia was the most revolutionary of them all. In Natural Born Rebel, Holmes celebrates the radical life of a true internationalist. But politics can often appear to be a game between the radical fringes and the centre ground. The Times columnist and former Conservative Party adviser Danny Finkelstein has long applauded moderation. In a collection of his newspaper writings, Everything in Moderation, he argues that the political centre is less about ideology and more about temperament. Producer: Katy Hickman

The first city in North Dakota to formally organize a Votes for Women League was Fargo, in early 1912. It happened with the visit and lecture of Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, a British artist, author, and suffragist, who was both daughter to and disciple of famous British suffragist Emmeline Pankhurst.

I Oktober 1913 talade den radikala brittiska rösträttskvinnan Sylvia Pankhurst i Göteborg. Talet har varit mytomspunnet, men hittills har forskningen inte vetat vad hon sa. Nu är talet återfunnet. Det är fantastiskt! Det har varit så roligt att läsa och det är fantastiskt att det finns kvar, säger historikern Christina Florin som forskat mycket om den svenska rösträttsrörelsen, när Vetandets värld visat henne det återfunna talet. Pankhursts framträdande oroade makten eftersom den brittiska rösträttsrörelsen inte tvekade att ta till våld. Hennes ord i Göteborg 1913 ger en tydlig förklaring till varför de engelska rösträttskvinnorna tog till våld: När maktens män vägrar lyssna finns till slut bara en metod kvar, och det är våldets väg, förklarade Sylvia Pankhurst för de församlade göteborgare som kommit för att lyssna till hennes tal 1 oktober 1913. "Handling inte ord" blev suffragetternas motto. Men Pankhurst var noga med att betona att detta inte var en väg hon rekommenderade sina svenska rösträttssystrar. Inom kort kommer Riksarkivet ut med sin årsbok. I den finns en artikel om talet, om Frigga Carlberg och om Sylvia Pankhurst, skriven av arkivarien Karl-Magnus Johansson. Programmet är en repris från maj 2019. Programledare: Elisabeth Renström Producent: Camilla Widebeck camilla.widebeck@sverigesradio.se

Katherine spoke to us about her new edited collection which is published by Pluto Press. "This book is a collection of Sylvia Pankhurst's writing on her visits to North America in 1911-12. Unlike the standard suffragette tours which focused on courting progressive members of America's social elite for money, Pankhurst got her hands dirty, meeting striking laundry workers in New York, visiting female prisoners in Philadelphia and Chicago and grappling with horrific racism in Nashville, Tennessee. Adored by socialist students and progressive politicians, Pankhurst was also shocked by the dark underbelly of American society. Bringing her own experiences of imprisonment and misogyny from her political work in Britain, she found many parallels between the two countries. These never-before-published writings mark an important stage in the development of the suffragette's thought, which she brought back to Britain to inform the burgeoning working-class suffrage campaign there. The book also includes a contextualising introduction by Katherine Connelly."

In the centenary year of the "Representation of the People Act", which extended the franchise to certain, propertied, women, Labour Days looks at the question of working-class and labour movement involvement in the women's suffrage movement, and introduces listeners to the activity of labour-movement suffrage fighters like Julia Varley, Sylvia Pankhurst, and Ada Nield Chew. The reccommended reading for this episode is Jill Norris and Jill Liddington's book 'One Hand Tied Behind Us', which looks at the radical roots of the suffrage movement in the activity of working-class and socialist women organisers. You can buy a copy here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Hand-Tied-Behind-Us/dp/1854891111 At the top of the show we mention four strikes of education workers, which you can read more about here: University lecturers' strikes against pension cuts in the UK: https://theclarionmag.org/2018/02/26/ucu-strike-channel-anger-against-management/ (and http://twitter.com/occupation_hub for updates on student sit-ins in solidarity with the strikes) Teachers' strikes for decent pay in West Virginia, USA: http://www.labornotes.org/2018/03/west-virginia-option University lecturers' strikes in Kenya: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-kenya-strike/kenyan-university-lecturers-strike-again-over-low-pay-idUSKCN1GE0NW Non-academic university workers' strikes in Nigeria: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/260287-three-months-strike-action-university-workers-set-nationwide-protest.html We also reccommended LabourStart as a good starting point for all your international labour movement news: http://www.labourstart.org We also mentioned the Picturehouse cinema workers' International Women's Day strike, which you can read about here: https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2018/03/if-picturehouse-strikers-demands-were-met-women-would-benefit The strike linked up with other IWD events via the Women's Strike initiative, which you can read about here: https://womenstrike.org.uk/ and here: https://theclarionmag.org/2018/03/04/8-march-womens-strike-collectivising-our-fight/ All the usual copyright disclaimers apply about the music used here, which we don't own. The post-credits music was a snippet from Joan Baez and Mimi Farina's version of 'Bread And Roses', James Oppenheim's 1911 poem about the Lawrence, Massachusetts textile workers' strike. The slogan "bread and roses" originates with sweatshop worker organiser Rose Schneidermann ("the worker must have bread, but she must have roses too"), who used it to assert the idea that the labour movement should fight for workers' right to a rich and fulfilling life rather than just mere economic subsistence.

A powerful movement is growing in force – but where will it go next? The ‘Weinstein effect’ has seen revelations of pervasive sexual assault and exploitation come to light across the world, sparking the #MeToo and TIME’S UP campaigns aimed at giving women a voice in tackling systemic injustice. Panel: Laura Bates, bestselling author and founder of the Everyday Sexism project; Helen Pankhurst, author and granddaughter of Sylvia Pankhurst; Ayesha Hazarika, Political Commentator and Comedian and Sophie Walker, Founding Leader of the Women’s Equality Party (WEP).

Sylvia Pankhurst was a socialist and one of the most forward thinking and intersectional of the suffragettes. She was the daughter of Emmeline Pankhurst.

In October 1912 Sylvia Pankhurst climbed onto a wooden platform outside an old baker's shop on Bow Road, and painted the words 'VOTES FOR WOMEN' in golden letters above the door. What began as a simple recruitment drive for the Women's Social and Political Union soon sparked a rebellion in the suffragette ranks, and launched a mass movement for equality with Roman Road market at its heart. Get to know these forgotten East End rebels, who always said that votes for women were just the beginning. Sarah Jackson is the author of Voices From History: East London Suffragettes with Rosemary Taylor, and organised the East London Suffragette Festival in 2014.

Katherine Connelly examines Sylvia Pankhurst's life of activism from her teens as a member of the Independent Labour Party, to her time as a leading suffragette before the First World War, through to her socialist, anti-fascist and anti-imperialist campaigns in later years. She will also explore some of the contradictions in Pankhurst's career such as her role within the suffragette movement and why she ended her days under the patronage of the Emperor of Ethiopia. Katherine Connelly is the author of a new biography of Sylvia Pankhurst. She is completing her phD on 'Karl Marx and Parisian popular culture in the 1840s' at Queen Mary, University of London.
