Pankhurst's life is ripe for discovery by new readers and a younger generation. However, this biography is often so dense that her story often gets lost within its pages.
Readers of biography generally, as well as those with an interest in the history of 19th-century political life, the development of British socialism and trade unionism, Marxism, 19th-century literary life, and feminism will all find something in this satisfying and original biography.
