This book is the first selected collection of Emmeline Pankhurst's letters, and offers new insights into her political career, transnational social networks and family relationships.Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), was one of the most influential women of the 20th century. Charismatic, determined and a powerful orator, she was very much an activist who considered herself incompetent with a pen. Yet this selected collection of 150 letters compiled and carefully contextualised by leading gender historian June Purvis reveals a woman who could write well and vividly.The letters focus on Emmeline's suffragette years, but they also provide glimpses into the First World War and the Women's Party, of which she was co-founder and co-leader together with her daughter Christabel. Collectively, they offer new insights into her political career, transnational social networks and family relationships. For example, she corresponded with socialist figures such as Philip Snowden and Sam Robinson; with suffragettes such as Caroline Phillips and Elizabeth Robins; with well-known liberals such as C. P. Scott, editor of The Manchester Guardian; with admirers such as Alice Morgan Wright and Alva Belmont; with male symphathisers such as Henry Harben and Hugh Franklin; and with her own family members.This first collection of Emmeline Pankhurst's letters, some of them made available to the public for the first time, will be essential reading for academics and students interested in the history of the suffragette movement and modern British political history.

Emmeline's Loving Comrade, Richard Marsden Pankhurst

Richard Marsden Pankhurst is an obscure figure, forgotten by history because he has been overshadowed by his dazzling wife, Emmeline, the great leader of the Suffragettes. Yet their partnership as campaigners was a critical element in her development and success. Her reaction to his death in 1898 led to her decision five years later to convene the Women's Social and Political Union, popularly known as the Suffragettes. Richard's intense character and devotion to ideals made him an object of both admiration and derision. He was widely respected as an honest man who put principle before self and party. Yet in worldly terms he was a failure. As a barrister, he should have been able to provide a comfortable home life for his family, but his political extremism hindered success in his career and the family struggled to afford the life to which they aspired. Even as a political campaigner Richard failed in several attempts to enter parliament. Nevertheless his marriage to young and beautiful Emmeline lent him a new glamour and soon resulted in a growing family. He moulded their beliefs and actions, creating a campaigning machine. Women's equality was a significant focus, but so too were the other radical causes they espoused on behalf of the poor, workers, children, and world peace. Emmeline had already begun to take the lead in political activism, due in no small measure to the support of her devoted and unconventional spouse. The startling tactics of the Suffragettes in the early 20th century owed much to the influence of Richard Pankhurst. Later overshadowed by his extraordinary wife and daughters, his memory has been erased, but his story is a vital component in understanding the remarkable Pankhurst women.
The Inevitable Caliphate?: A History of the Struggle for Global Islamic Union, 1924 to the Present

While in the West 'the Caliphate" evokes overwhelmingly negative images, throughout Islamic history it has been regarded as the ideal Islamic polity. In the wake of the "Arab Spring" and the removal of long-standing dictators in the Middle East, in which the dominant discourse appears to be one of the compatibility of Islam and democracy, reviving the Caliphate has continued to exercise the minds of its opponents and advocates. Reza Pankhurst's book contributes to our understanding of Islam in politics, the path of Islamic revival across the last century and how the popularity of the Caliphate in Muslim discourse waned and later re-emerged. Beginning with the abolition of the Caliphate, the ideas and discourse of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizb ut-Tahrir, al-Qaeda and other smaller groups are then examined. A comparative analysis highlights the core commonalities as well as differences between the various movements and individuals, and suggests that as movements struggle to re-establish a polity which expresses the unity of the ummah (or global Islamic community), the Caliphate has alternatively been ignored, had its significance minimised or denied, reclaimed and promoted as a theory and symbol in different ways, yet still serves as a political ideal for many.
