A big thank you to Tessa Chynoweth from the Pankhurst Centre for nominating A Suffragette in America as her radical read of the year for the History Workshop Journal. I'm delighted the book is there alongside other great radical reads and I'm sure Sylvia Pankhurst would have been too.
Tessa said: "Katherine read extracts from it at the Pankhurst Centre in May and something about the collapsing of time (both in terms of the prescient-ness of Sylvia’s discussions of rampant capitalism and exploitation on the grounds of sex and race, and also of hearing a young Sylvia’s words in the house where she grew up) took my breath away."
You can read her kind words and the other entries here. And if you're looking for a gift to cheer up a socialist feminist this Christmas, may I suggest you look here!
