Work of the Week is a painting from the series 'Women Workers of England' by artist and campaigner Sylvia Pankhurst. In 1907 Pankhurst spent several months touring industrial communities in Northern England and Scotland, documenting the working and living conditions of women workers. Living in the communities she studied, she painted and wrote about industrial processes and the women who performed them. Pankhurst's paintings successfully supported her fight for the improvement of women's working conditions and pay equality with men. She painted in gouache, which she found ideal for working quickly in the factories.
