Feminist politician Eleanor Rathbone is called by a recent biographer "the most significant woman in British politics in the first half of the 20th century."
She wrote books, pamphlets, and essays on the various social and political causes to which she was committed throughout her long career. In many of her texts, she blends argument about more than one of the many movements or initiatives she supported, such as feminism and state-funded family endowments.
