Talvinder Bhullar, editor, writes:
'One of the most challenging tasks facing history curriculum managers at Key Stage 3 is to decide what subject matter to include in their course. A scheme of work for this age-group requires a careful selection of topics and a strategy for the development of skills. The key is to provide a balanced overview of a long period in history while giving enough time to depth studies that bring the past to life.
The story of Sylvia Pankhurst reveals a colourful and memorable character that students aged 12–15 or older will warm to while being given access to some major twentieth century themes.
This book guides students in the assessment of historical significance, equipping them to create their own criteria and formulate their own judgments.
The main text is accompanied by tasks and suggested items for discussion, but it can also be used in isolation or with other resources and adapted to fit existing schemes of work.'
