Provisionally titled Workers' Mate, the newspaper first appeared on 8 March 1914[3] (14 March according to one source[4] or21 March according to another[5]), the day of a suffragette rally at which Pankhurst was due to speak, in Trafalgar Square, as The Woman's Dreadnought, with a circulation of 30,000,[citation needed], subsequently (at number 10, in May 1914) stated as 20,000.[6]
When the editor was imprisoned, Norah Smyth alternated as acting editor with Jack O'Sullivan.[7] For many years, Smyth had used her photography skills to provide pictures for the newspaper of East End life, particularly of women and children living in poverty.[8]
In July 1917, the name was changed to Workers' Dreadnought,[9] which initially had a circulation of 10,000. Its slogan changed to "Socialism, Internationalism, Votes for All", and then in July 1918 to "For International Socialism", reflecting increasing opposition to Parliamentarism in the party.[10]
