This book is a collection of Sylvia Pankhurst's writing on her
visits to North America in 1911-12. Unlike the standard suffragette
tours which focused on courting progressive members of America's
social elite for money, Pankhurst got her hands dirty, meeting
striking laundry workers in New York, visiting female prisoners in
Philadelphia and Chicago and grappling with horrific racism in
Nashville, Tennessee. Adored by socialist students and progressive
politicians, Pankhurst was also shocked by the dark underbelly of
American society. Bringing her own experiences of imprisonment and
misogyny from her political work in Britain, she found many
parallels between the two countries. These never-before-published
writings mark an important stage in the development of the
suffragette's thought, which she brought back to Britain to inform
the burgeoning working-class suffrage campaign there. The book also
includes a contextualising introduction by Katherine Connelly.
