Women of the Left, Patriotism, and National Identity, 1914–28
The literature on the role of women in the First World War, and the war's effect on gender roles, considers conservative and socialist feminism, the expansion of the franchise in 1918 and 1928, and state welfare policies. However, there has been less work on the women of the Left who participated in the war effort, and who used nationalism to push for socialist and feminist objectives. These women have been understudied for various reasons: as wo…
Competition or culture? Anti-migrant hostility and industrial decline: The case of West Yorkshire, 1962-1981

Yet in the tex…

Labour and the War Emergency: The Workers' National Committee during the First World War
Discussions of the British Left and the First World War have often focused on strikes, conscientious objection and the anti-war movement. Yet this focus on opposition to the conflict obscures the important actions taken by the labour movement to protect the most vulnerable from the worst effects of the war. Central to the Left’s actions during the war was the War Emergency: Workers’ National Committee (WNC). This body – incorporating the broad sp…
