Sylvia Pankhurst was an active participant in the struggle to win women's suffrage in Milwaukee. At the launch I'll be talking about her role in the 1912 referendum campaign, the suffragists who welcomed her as a star speaker and one who wished she hadn't come and complained about militant suffragettes behaving like "tomboys"!
