- Le Workers' Dreadnought est un journal britannique fondé par Sylvia Pankhurst en 1914. D'abord intitulé le Workers' Mate, il est publié pour la première fois sous le nom de Womens' Dreadnought le 8 mars 1914 lors de la Journée internationale des femmes. Son tirage était alors de 30 000 exemplaires. Les journalistes les plus influentes du journal furent Mary Patterson, et surtout Sylvia Pankhurst, qui venait de quitter les Suffragettes à la suite d'un désaccord avec sa mère Emmeline et sa sœur Adela au sujet des incendies volontaires utilisés comme arme de propagande. Cette première édition fut réalisée pour le compte de la East London Federation of Suffragettes. En 1917, le journal fut rebaptisé le Workers' Dreadnought et ne fut plus publié qu'à 10 000 exemplaires. Son slogan change et passe de « Socialisme, internationalisme, votes pour tous » à « Pour le socialisme international » en juillet 1918, reflétant l'opposition croissante au parlementarisme dans le parti. Le 19 juin 1920, le Workers' Dreadnought fut adopté comme organe hebdomadaire officiel du Parti communiste de Grande Bretagne. Sylvia Pankhurst publia le journal dans cette version jusqu'en 1924.

- Workers' Dreadnought was a newspaper published by variously named political parties led by Sylvia Pankhurst. The paper was started by Pankhurst at the suggestion of Zelie Emerson, after Pankhurst had been expelled from the Women's Social and Political Union by her mother and sister. The paper was published on behalf of the newly formed East London Federation of Suffragettes. Provisionally titled Workers' Mate, the newspaper first appeared on 8 March 1914 (14 March according to one source 21 March according to another), the day of suffragette rally at which Pankhurst was due to speak, in Trafalgar Square, as The Woman's Dreadnought, with a circulation of 30,000,, subsequently (on number 10, of May 1914) stated as 20,000. When the editor was imprisoned, Norah Smyth alternated as acting editor with Jack O'Sullivan. 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. In July 1917 the name was changed to Workers' Dreadnought, 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. On 19 June 1920 Workers' Dreadnought was adopted as the official weekly organ of the Communist Party (British Section of the Third International). Pankhurst continued publishing the newspaper until June 1924. (en)
