      Discover the revolutionary vision of suffragette and social activist Sylvia Pankhurst in this thought-provoking treatise. Pankhurst advocates for the adoption of a simple, logical international language called Delphos as a way to foster global communication and understanding. She argues that the learning of multiple languages is a barrier to progress and that a single, neutral language would promote peace and cooperation. Pankhurst's ideas are still relevant today and offer a compelling alternative to the dominant linguistic paradigm.

      • 8 hours of reading

      Sylvia Pankhurst's writings from her 1911-12 visits to North America reveal her commitment to grassroots activism, diverging from typical suffragette approaches. Instead of seeking support from the elite, she engaged directly with marginalized communities, meeting striking laundry workers, visiting female prisoners, and confronting systemic racism in Nashville. This collection highlights her dedication to social justice and provides a unique perspective on the suffrage movement's intersection with labor rights and racial issues.

      Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
