Ad details

In essay form, the film traces the context, campaigns and political impact of inspiring suffragette and revolutionary Sylvia Pankhurst. It features rare archive imagery and unique testimony from Sylvia's son Richard Pankhurst and his wife Rita. Sylvia Pankhurst was imprisoned more than any other suffragette for her campaigning and unlike her mother Emmeline and sister Christabel, who dropped demands for votes for women to support the war effort, Sylvia fought for universal suffrage until it was won. Her opposition to war, internationalism and bravery in opposing all misanthropic trends puts her, as one interviewee says, 'up there with the angels.'
