Party polarization, disappearing regions, and nationalized environmental politics
The intersection of environmental politics, regionalism, and Congressional policymaking is not well-examined by extant scholarship, so it is unclear to what extent regionalism within parties explains Congressional actions, particularly as it pertains to shifting partisan dynamics and focus on nationalized issues, such as climate change. The authors use data from the League of Conservation Voters to track voting behaviors among members of Congress…
Labour, British Radicalism and the First World War
This collection of essays serves as a welcome reminder that the First World War was experienced in myriad ways and with far reaching consequences. Neither politics and labour organization nor perce
Madeleine Symons
Martin Ferguson Smith's short biography of Madeleine Symons (1895–1957) is a very welcome addition to the still too sparse library of literature on women who worked—or began their careers—in the ea
The National Federation of Women Workers, 1906–1921
This book is the first full length history of the all-female National Federation of Women Workers (1906-21) led by the gifted and charismatic Mary Macarthur. Its focus is on the people who made up thi
Winifred Holtby's Social Vision
As a young woman embarking on a professional career, Winifred Holtby embraced the opportunities and experiences that opened up for her in the post-First World War period. Regan's book is not a biog
Binding Women Together in Friendship and Unity
This article examines the ethos and rationale of The Woman Worker, launched in Britain in September 1907 as the official organ of the all-female trade union, the National Federation of Women Workers (the Federation). As a monthly journal, it was edited and managed by Mary Macarthur, President of the Federation, moving to weekly production in June 1908 with the assistance of Robert Blatchford, founder of the successful socialist newspaper, The Cla…
Gertrude Tuckwell and the British Labour Movement, 1891-1921
This article adopts a biographical approach to examine the politicization of a woman activist, Gertrude Tuckwell (1861-1951), in the British labour movement at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. In particular, it focuses on the influence of Tuckwell's radical background and argues that her loyalty and sense of duty towards her family shaped and directed the nature of her social and political work. With emphasis on…
Dancing and Days Out
The failure of the Potters' Joint-Stock Emigration Society (1844–51) and its founder, William Evans, to transform the lives of North Staffordshire pottery workers by relieving the industry of surplus labour has long been acknowledged. This article investigates the Society's reputation through its treatment by historians from different traditions. Labour historians, beginning with the Webbs, have been particularly hostile to Evans's scheme, seeing…
Tea and Sympathy
This article considers the ways in which three local activists sought to inspire women workers to become active and loyal trade unionists at the start of the twentieth century, at a time when the great majority of female workers in Britain was unorganized. It employs evidence of tactics used by organizers of the all-female trade union, the National Federation of Women Workers in Coventry, in the industrial West Midlands of Britain in the years be…
Everyone's Poor Relation
This article highlights the complexity of factors that may be seen to have adversely affected the career of a working‐class woman municipal councillor in interwar Britain. It examines the effect that poverty had on the political position of Alice Arnold, Labour councillor in Coventry from 1919 until 1955, and in addition considers whether, despite her popularity with the electorate, her isolation within the Labour Party and on Coventry City Counc…
Her Heart and Soul were with The Labour Movement
The experiences of the women employed by general, mixed-sex trade unions during and after the First World War have received little attention in British trade union history. This article employs a local study to focus on the work of the women organizers of the Workers' Union (WU) between 1915 and 1931 and in so doing examines both the extent and the sincerity of one union's commitment towards both its women officials and women members. In Coventry…
