- Description
- Throughout Labour's history, even in its earliest years, women were present in the room. They came from many backgrounds and they worked for the causes they believed in as organisers, campaigners, negotiators, public speakers and leaders. Amongst them was Isabella Ford, an active socialist and trade unionist and Millicent Fawcett, the President of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. They took on the vested interests of their time: sometimes they won. Yet the vast majority of them have been forgotten by the Labour movement that they helped to found. This book tells their story.

- Description
- In the early twentieth century, women fought for the right to professional employment and political influence outside the home. Yet if liberation from household 'drudgery' meant employing another woman to do it, where did this leave domestic servants? Both inspired and frustrated by the growing feminist movement, servants began forming their own trade unions, demanding better conditions and rights at work. This book tells the history of how these militant maids and their mistresses joined forces in the struggle for the vote but also clashed over competing class interests.
