In 1914, the East London Federation of Suffragettes, led by Sylvia
Pankhurst, split from the WSPU. Sylvia's mother and sister,
Emmeline and Christabel, had encouraged her to give up her work
with the poor women of East London - but Sylvia refused. Besides
campaigning for women to have an equal right to vote from their
headquarters in Bow, the ELFS worked on a range of equality issues
which mattered to local women: they built a toy factory, providing
work and a living wage for local women; they opened a subsidized
canteen where women and children could get cheap, nutritious food;
and they launched a nursery school, a creche, and a mother-and-baby
clinic. The work of the Federation (and 'our Sylvia', as she was
fondly known by locals) deserves to be remembered, and this book,
filled with astonishing first-hand accounts, aims to bring this
amazing story to life.
