Great review in Labour/Le Travail

"The result is an extremely valuable and enlightening picture of Sylvia Pankhurst's changing political ideas, as well as revealing snapshots of the American women's movement and U.S. labouring and social life. Connelly's extended introduction provides an excellent picture of the context framing Sylvia's travel, including the variegated British and American suffrage movements that she interacted with."

Thanks to Professor Joan Sangster, in the Gender and Women's Studies department at Trent University, Canada, for this enthusiastic review of A Suffragette in America in Labour/Le Travail, the journal of Canadian Labour Studies. 

Two substantial extracts of the review are available here and here, the full text is available for those with login access to Project Muse or, even better, subscribe to the Labour/Le Travail and support a publication dedicated to working-class history.
