Two Sylvia Pankhurst biographers on revolutionary women's history
Last month I had the great pleasure to join Rachel Holmes, author of the magnificent Sylvia Pankhurst: Natural Born Rebel, in a discussion of women's history at Counterfire's 'Revolution!' festival. Here we explained why the struggle for women's liberation is a necessarily revolutionary struggle.
You can find the other excellent talks from the Festival - including discussions of Palestine, Fred Hampton and revolutionary theory - on the Counterfire website. You can find my review of Rachel Holmes' biography here.
