Stirring, sad, extraordinary ... In her own time, Sylvia flamed. She was rarely off the front pages for dashing herself against various legal bulwarks and misguided conventions in the way of her ultimate prize - justice and freedom for all ... On every page, there is something to amuse or absorb ... One finishes the book with the impression that Sylvia lived the lives of seven women in her 78 years ... Those of us living today who do not owe her thanks in some form are very few indeed, [A] monumental biography ... Holmes' book brings us in gorgeous technicolour the scope of Pankhurst's lifelong political activism as it interwove and sometimes painfully conflicted with her personal life, No one writes history quite like Rachel Holmes with her astounding gift for animating the past and revealing its uncanny contemporary relevance. After the stunning achievement of Eleanor Marx , raising the unsung nineteenth-century heroine from obscurity and the dead, Holmes has lifted the bar yet again. Sylvia Pankhurst tells an epic tale of the last century that speaks so presciently to current dark times. The intimate, national and global adventures of this great and brave woman are recounted with colour and precision. Schisms in the first family of feminism and on the left, the winds of world wars and liberation. Love, loss, rivalry and betrayal, but also solidarity and hope for the future. All of human life is here in a perfect read for the hard season to come, [A] superbly sensitive biography ... It's impossible to summarise adequately book so magnificent ... a sophisticated symphony of intriguing and complex analysis, delivered in mellifluous harmony. It's a feminist book, as is appropriate to the subject, but feminist theory is used as a scalpel, not a sledgehammer ... [A] wonderful book ... Holmes sublimely illuminates Sylvia's extraordinary life, Sylvia Pankhurst was extraordinary. Rachel Holmes' biography of her is likewise extraordinary ... It charts a life of purpose; a life that made a difference; a life that still inspires, Sylvia Pankhurst was extraordinary. Rachel Holmes's biography of her is likewise extraordinary. It draws the linkages between Sylvia's campaigns as suffragette, socialist, pacifist, anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-colonialist, as a campaigner for improved maternal health, as an honorary Ethiopian; the links between the practical organiser, strategic thinker, artist, poet, editor and writer ... It charts a life of purpose; a life that made a difference; a life that still inspires, A vivid, tender and comprehensive biography ... Holmes has produced a towering tribute to a truly remarkable figure. Whether or not you sympathise with her political views, it is impossible not to be awestruck by Sylvia Pankhurst's humanity and relentless, campaigning zeal, [A] superbly sensitive biography ... It's impossible to summarise adequately a book so magnificent ... A sophisticated symphony of intriguing and complex analysis, delivered in mellifluous harmony. It's a feminist book, as is appropriate to the subject, but feminist theory is used as a scalpel, not a sledgehammer ... [A] wonderful book ... Holmes sublimely illuminates Sylvia's extraordinary life, Superb ... I doubt the reader will close this brilliant biography unmoved by this extraordinary woman's life and untroubled by the inevitable questions it raises about global capitalism now, Such a big life deserves a big book, especially when it is written with political understanding and tremendous sympathy for women in politics, A spectacular work by one of the most accomplished biographers writing today. Rachel Holmes's Sylvia peels away the mystique and misinformation surrounding the life of perhaps the most interesting and complex of the mighty Pankhurst women ... Exploring her passions, relationships and motivations, in a landscape of global instability and political inferno, Holmes has forged an intricate, sensitive and irresistible portrait of a woman who is entirely relevant today, As Rachel Holmes argues in this compelling biography, [Sylvia] was a major political figure of the twentieth century who deserves to be better known ... This is a moving, powerful biography of a woman whose desire to connect "with all the world" is an inspiration for our uncertain times, No one writes history quite like Rachel Holmes with her astounding gift for animating the past and revealing its uncanny contemporary relevance ... Sylvia Pankhurst tells an epic tale of the last century that speaks so presciently to current dark times. The intimate, national and global adventures of this great and brave woman are recounted with colour and precision ... All of human life is here in a perfect read for the hard season to come, " Magnificent . . . Richly textured with historical details, crackling with the vibrant personalities of major and minor figures, and interspersed with clear-eyed, incisive analyses of Pankhurst's character and actions, this is a flat-out fabulous biography . History buffs will be mesmerized." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Holmes paints a vivid portrait of a crusading pioneer for women's rights, placing Pankhurst at the epicenters of battles for human dignity throughout the modern era and around the globe . . . Holmes' comprehensive biography can serve as inspiration for new generations of activists." -- Booklist "A spectacular work by one of the most accomplished biographers writing today. Rachel Holmes's Sylvia peels away the mystique and misinformation surrounding the life of perhaps the most interesting and complex of the mighty Pankhurst women." -- Anita Anand, author of Sophia: Princess, Suffragette, Revolutionary "No one writes history quite like Rachel Holmes with her astounding gift for animating the past and revealing its uncanny contemporary relevance . . .

The intimate, national and global adventures of this great and brave woman are recounted with color and precision . . . All of human life is here in a perfect read for the hard season to come." -- Shami Chakrabarti, author of On Liberty "Captures vividly the drama of a woman with a hunger for the world who did her damnedest to live on the largest terms possible, and to a very considerable degree succeeded." -- New York Times Book Review on ELEANOR MARX, Editors' Choice "A powerful portrait of a radical mind in all its high-keyed intensity." -- Wall Street Journal on ELEANOR MARX "Superb . . .

But as this absorbing biography shows, she embraced a precociously modern awareness of gender and class, campaigning tirelessly for the rights of women and workers." - New York Times Book Review (Editors'' Choice) "[An] excellent and admiring new biography . . . [Holmes''] command of the material, which covers not only suffrage but Pankhurst''s involvement in everything from anti-war protest to political turmoil in Russia, India, and Ethiopia (Pankhurst led international protests when fascist Italy invaded the African kingdom), is impressive. The author vividly portrays both the sweep of events and her subject''s inner conflicts. Indeed, Holmes excels in showing how Pankhurst''s mental turmoil both shaped and drove her, leading to a remarkably forward-thinking understanding of the connections between gender, class, and race." - Wall Street Journal "Magnificent . . .

Synopsis
On the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, the definitive biography of suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst--political rebel, human rights champion, and radical feminist ahead of her time., On the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, the definitive biography of suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst-political rebel, human rights champion, and radical feminist ahead of her time. Sylvia Pankhurst fought militantly for a woman's right to vote, inspiring movements around the globe. But the vote was just the beginning. A talented artist, a free-spirit, a visionary, Sylvia was seen as "wild," even by the standards of her activist mother and sister. She became a radical feminist, committing herself to the fight for reproductive rights, equal pay, access to welfare and education, and freedom of sexual expression. She converted her experiences of torture, imprisonment, and violence into a lifelong quest to champion human rights. Encompassing both World Wars and lasting through the Anti-Apartheid Movement, Pankhurst's political life was international in scope; it included Irish independence, pacifism, the rights of refugees, and the fight against racism in Europe, the Indian subcontinent, and colonial Africa. Her United States lecture tours made headlines and connected her with both American feminists and the NAACP. She spent her life in dialogue, dispute, and resolution with Winston Churchill, Vladimir Lenin, Jomo Kenyatta, Haile Selassie, Harriot Stanton Blatch, and W.E.B. DuBois. And she wrote about it all, prolifically. In this enthralling biography, acclaimed author Rachel Holmes interweaves Pankhurst's rebellious political and private lives to show how her astonishing achievements continue to resonate today.
