More than ‘bare walls’
This article concerns the educational philosophy of S. Margery Fry (1874–1958) and its impact upon the design, organisation and functions of university residences for women in the twentieth century. According to Carol Dyhouse, Fry, the only woman on the University Grants Committee from 1919 to 1947, ‘exerted considerable influence over the shape of provision for women across the country’. Taking a biographical approach based on Fry’s personal pap…
MP and/or JP
The 1919 Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act became law only a year after the first election in which women were able to vote and stand as Members of Parliament (MPs). Among its other provisions, this legislation allowed women to become Justices of the Peace (JPs) for the first time. In December 1919, the Lord Chancellor convened a committee of advisors (the Crewe Committee) drawn from different parts of the United Kingdom and the various politica…
Gender, Radio Broadcasting and the Role of the Public Intellectual
This article addresses the issue of gender and the role of the public intellectual on the BBC in the middle of the twentieth century through an examination of the broadcasting career of S. Margery Fry (1874-1958). Scholars such as Hugh Chignell have emphasised that, with very few exceptions, speaking to the nation was pre-eminently the work of men in this period. Margery Fry was a well-known personality, connected to the Bloomsbury Group, with ex…
Women's agency, activism and organisation
Agency, activism and organisation have been central and constant themes in women’s and gender history. They provide useful lenses through which to study women’s interaction with the social world. Both separately and in combination, they constitute a valuable analytical framework for the study of women’s lives, culture and experience in past societies by foregrounding and articulating historical challenges made to patriarchy, social structure and …
The Politics of Penal Reform
In the context of recent media scrutiny on the state of prisons in the UK, the efficacy of incarcerating large numbers of offenders is an issue which is rising steadily up the political agenda. In 2016, the Howard League for Penal Reform – an organization that has energetically lobbied for improvements in the treatment of offenders throughout its lifetime – celebrated its 150th anniversary. This book considers the life and work of Margery Fry, th…
Political Life in the Shadows
Drawing upon research on the working life of the penal reformer and educationalist S. Margery Fry (1874–1958) and her role as a policy-maker, this article argues that there were alternative ways in which women could participate in post-suffrage political culture, other than through elected office or party politics. The article positions Margery Fry both as a feminist and a public intellectual and argues that the First World War and the granting o…
Making Socialists
Jane Martin's book about Mary Bridges Adams (I hesitate to call it a biography) is a fascinating portrait of the life and times of a relatively obscure educationalist and propagandist for socialism
Building a New and Better Order’? Women and Jury Service in England and Wales, c. 1920–70
The 1919 Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act extended women's citizenship by enabling them to serve as magistrates and jurors in the country's law courts. Yet while the proportion of women magistrates rose steadily over the next fifty years to reach almost half, even in the 1960s juries remained overwhelmingly male, largely as a result of the continuation of outdated rules concerning jury qualification which remained unreformed until the 1970s. Th…

"Doing It Differently?"
Introducing—the Revd Elizabeth Average, an imaginary minister in the Church of Scotland. She was created as a result of a survey and by detailed examination of data published in the Church of Scotland Year Book. In the 40 years since women were ordained to full-time ministry in the Church of Scotland some myths and apocryphal understandings of women's ministry have developed. Elizabeth Average confirms some of those understandings and dismisses o…
In Search of Equal Citizenship
In early 1920 women in England and Wales sat as Justices of the Peace (JPs) for the first time, becoming the first women to have any formal role in the country’s law courts. Less than thirty years later nearly a quarter of JPs were women, a proportion unparalleled in any other activity of civic and public life other than voting. Yet the legislation that admitted women to the magisterial bench—the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act—is usually pron…
Professionalism and the Impact of England's First Women Justices, 1920–1950
This article examines the impact of England's first women justices of the peace (JPs) on the work of lay magistrates in the period 1920–50. It argues that the early women JPs (many of whom had been active in the women's suffrage campaign), and the organizations that they belonged to, helped to transform the institution of the lay magistracy by adopting a more ‘professional’ approach, evidenced in their willingness to educate and train themselves …
