Spinning Plates EP 106 Helen Pankhurst
Helen Pankhurst is a writer and a scholar who works for women's rights.
Her grandmother Sylvia and her great grandmother Emmeline were both suffragette leaders, and Helen carries her family name with pride. We talked about how Helen kept her family name of Pankhurst when she married, and about how she and her husband shared both their surnames with their children, in a clever way theat I've not heard before.
I first met Helen when she asked me to sing in support of international women’s day and we saw each other recently when we recorded a podcast for Care International, where we were lucky enough to talk with women from all around the world. Many were in crisis, but still finding joy in each other's stories, and sharing many of the same worries and issues, despite living in vastly different circumstances from each other.
We also discussed the parallels being drawn between the direct action of the suffragettes, and the current Just Stop Oil protestors.
We agreed how important it is for every one of us to use our vote 'to keep your piece in the jigsaw' as Helen beautifully put it. She also talked about the current campaign to bring the voting age down in this country, to include 16-18 year olds.
I absolutely love how Helen has brought her children up with her personal motto of 'fun and purpose', and I can really see how that has helped her achieve her goal of leading a decent, fun life with her family around her.
And by the way, all accidentally recorded on Emmeline's birthday. Serendipity!
