Abstract

Sylvia Pankhurst was a well-known Suffragette from the period prior to World War 1. It
is less well-know that she was also a socialist activist, an anti-racist and a founding
member of the British Communist Party. But can we consider her a social worker? This
piece looks at Sylvia's early life and argues that her radical welfare interventions
between 1912 and 1917 mark her out as a pioneer of radical social work interventions
