Unlocking the diversity of the past

...attention to specific events or campaigns. It took a further seven years before the ban was removed but Brett’s story is an important one, not just in the history of sexual orientation but in military history and social history.

Sylvia Pankhurst: The Expert View

...attention at the time and by suffrage historians. This helps to explain why the British state has chosen to honour Emmeline and Christabel for their contribution to women's enfranchisement (with a statue to the former and a plaque to the latter outside Parliament) while completely ignoring Sylvia's role. The Sylvia Pankhurst Memorial Committee was formed in 1999 in an...
