UK suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst was a trained artist and in 1907 created several watercolours depicting women workers in factories, mills and potteries to highlight working womenβs rights, their pay and conditions #WomensArt

Iβm starting to see why Millicent Fawcett got the statue
The Pankhursts are a fascinating family. Emmeline married a socialist but was fairly conservative herself, meanwhile her daughter Sylvia was an anti-imperialist socialist, her other daughter Adela was a fascist in Australia, and her OTHER daughter Cristabel became an evangelical Christian in America

Instead, they're hanging around outside of courtrooms and grabbing people who are trying to be documented workers.
