Although the name of Sylvia Pankhurst is synonymous with women’s right to vote, she does not feature on the existing suffragette memorial.
A group of campaigners, with the support of Islington Council, is determined to change this by raising a statue of her. But they need to raise £50,000 to cast the statue in bronze and to prepare the plinth. Money is also needed to pay for delivery to Clerkenwell Green and to organise a massive public launch, ensuring that Sylvia Pankhurst’s life and work is properly acknowledged and appreciated.
