"Sylvia Pankhurst was the daughter of renowned Suffragette, Emmeline Pankhurst, and the sister of Christabel but her passion against oppression was not just limited to the cause of Votes for Women. She fought for better rights for India and helped Ethiopia gain independence. Her ability to attract interest in events and issues was so strong that Hitler placed her on an arrest list should he invade England whilst Mussolini viewed her as a threat. She argued with Lenin who decreed that 'Comrade Sylvia Pankhurst's policy ... was wrong' and George Bernard Shaw called her the 'queerest idiot genius of this age', whilst she shared poetry and politics with her lover, Keir Hardie. Few women had such an impact as the rebellious Suffragette but, as Shirley Harrison's fascinating study shows, although surrounded by famous names, she did not have an easy family life following the death of her beloved father, Dr Richard Marsden Pankhurst. Her own mother denounced her as a 'scarlet woman' when she became pregnant out of wedlock to the Italian revolutionary, Silvio Corio."--Publisher's Web site.
