贝弗莉·奈特饰演埃米琳·潘克赫斯特,位于《西尔维亚:音乐革命》中的中心位置。
Beverley Knight as Emmeline Pankhurst, centre, in Sylvia: A Musical Revolution.
随着我们接近2028年平等选举权百年纪念,重要的是在争取选举权的妇女所赢得的权利基础上继续前进,海伦·潘克赫斯特写道。
当《西尔维亚:音乐革命》在莱斯特开始全国巡演时,观众中有一位自豪的潘克赫斯特(《女权主义者城市:炽热的西尔维亚·潘克赫斯特音乐剧上路——图片》,10月3日)。
Honouring Sylvia and Emmeline Pankhurst on stage and in political action As we approach the centenary of equal franchise in 2028, it is important to build on the rights that were won by the suffragettes, writes Helen Pankhurst There was a proud Pankhurst in the audience in Leicester as Sylvia: A Musical Revolution began its national tour ( Suffragette cities: blazing Sylvia Pankhurst musical hits the road – in pictures, 3 October ).
这确实是一场炽热的演出——在女性在与男性平等的条件下获得投票权98年后,它询问还有多少工作要做,如何去做,以及女性如何弥合分歧以推进共同事业。
A blazing show indeed – and one that, 98 years after women gained the vote on equal terms with men, asks how much remains to be done, how to do it and how women can bridge their differences to advance their common cause.
作为西尔维亚·潘克赫斯特的孙女和埃米琳·潘克赫斯特的曾孙女,我向这两位女性致敬。她们的政治道路分歧。
As Sylvia Pankhurst’s granddaughter and Emmeline Pankhurst’s great-granddaughter, I honour both women. Their political paths diverged.
我通过我领导的跨党派联盟“百年行动”来调和她们的遗产,共同目标是拆除女性在政治参与、提名和保留方面的障碍。
I seek to reconcile their legacies through Centenary Action, the cross-party coalition that I lead, in a shared cause: dismantling the barriers to women’s participation, selection and retention in politics.
观众中还有菲利帕,她是艾米莉·怀尔丁·戴维森的亲属,和彼得,他是爱丽丝·霍金斯的亲属。联系仍在延续——行动也在继续。
Also in the audience were Philippa, a relative of Emily Wilding Davison, and Peter, a relative of Alice Hawkins. The connections endure – and so does the activism.
纪念过去的牺牲意味着保护已赢得的权利,并在我们接近2028年平等选举权百年纪念时,在这些斗争的基础上继续前进。正如埃米琳所说:“你必须让女性的价值与男性一样。”正如西尔维亚所说:“仍有伟大的工作等待完成。”百年行动
Remembering past sacrifices means protecting the rights won and building on those struggles as we approach the centenary of equal franchise in 2028. As Emmeline said: “You must make women count as much as men.”And as Sylvia said: “Great is the work that remains to be accomplished.”Conven Centenary Action
