Description The youngest daughter of the famous British suffragette family, Adela Pankhurst was sent to Australia in 1914 following differences with her mother Emmeline. For the next 40 years she zigzagged passionately from cause to cause, befriending and then quarrelling with Australian socialists, communists, trade unionists, patriots, pacifists, nationalists, imperialists and conservatives. Verna Coleman brings this extraordinary, feisty, inspirational woman to life. To read this biography is to be caught up in the heady excitement of some of the most significant causes of the 20th century. Paperback 198 pp, 1996
