![An informational display about Sylvia Pankhurst is shown in an indoor setting, likely a library, museum, or exhibition space in London, United Kingdom. The display features a portrait photograph of Sylvia Pankhurst on an orange background, with her name and biographical information printed below. The photograph shows Pankhurst from the shoulders up, looking slightly upwards and to the right, with a calm, serious expression.
To the left of her image, a quote attributed to her reads: "[I wish to] consult various Government Publications and other works to which I cannot obtain access... [with an ultimate aim to] obtain information on the employment of women. Sylvia Pankhurst." Below this quote, smaller text notes: "Quote above Sylvia Pankhurst's application for a 1908."
The biographical text on the orange background states: "Sylvia Pankhurst (born UK, 1882-1960) Political activist Sylvia Pankhurst promoted women's rights and social justice throughout her life. She is best known in the UK for her bold and militant activism, which included political marches, civil disobedience and, when in prison, hunger strikes—all in pursuit of securing a woman's right to vote. On January 24 1908 she applied to use the Reading Room to find out more about women's employment. Seeing the effects of the First World War at home, Pankhurst campaigned against the war, setting up food and milk banks for working-class people living in east London."
At the bottom right of the display, attribution for the image is visible: "Image right Sylvia Pankhurst © National Portrait Gallery, London." The display card is standing upright on a dark surface, possibly a shelf or cabinet. A wooden frame runs along the left side of the image, and a label "H 6" is faintly visible on a dark shelf to the far left. The background is dark and indistinct.](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/patr-3a75e.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fimage_picker_2d3b23e5-b2a1-42b2-b.jpg?alt=media)
