Bywyd cynnar

Roedd Sylvia Pankhurst yn ferch i Dr. Richard Pankhurst ac Emmeline Pankhurst, y rhai ddarganfuwyd y Blaid Lafur ac oedd yn ymgyrchu dros hawliau merched. Roedd ganddi ddwy chwaer, Christabel Pankhurst ac Adela Pankhurst a daeth y dair yn aelod o'r Swffraget.

Yn 1906, dechreuodd Sylvia Pankhurst weithio'n llawn amser i Undeb Cymdeithasol a Gwleidyddol y Merched (neu'r WSPU) gyda'i chwaer Christabel a'i mam. Treuliodd amser yn Leicster lle'i chroesawyd gan Alice Jawkins a Mary Gawthorpe a sefydlu'r Undeb yn Leicster.

Yn wahanol i Emmeline a Christabel, cadwodd Sylvia ei chysylltiad â'r symudiad llafur a chanolbwytiodd ei hymgyrchu ar ymgyrchoedd lleol. Sefydlodd hi ac Amy Bull Ffederasiwn Dwyrain Llundain o'r WSPU. Cyfrannodd Sylvia yn ogystal i bapur newydd yr WSPU, Votes for Women ac yn 1911 cyhoeddodd hanes propoganda ymgyrch yr WSPU, The Suffragette: The History of the Women's Militant Suffrage Movement.

Erbyn 1914, roedd gan Sylvia ei amheuon o'r llwybr yr oedd yr WSPU yn ei gymryd. Daeth yr WSPU yn annibynnol o unrhyw blaid wleidyddol, ond roedd hi eisiau iddo ddod yn sefydliad sosialaeth pendant, gan daclo materion ehangach na phleidlais merched yn unig, ac alinio â'r Blaid Lafur Annibynnol.
