Red Ellen: The Life of Ellen Wilkinson, Socialist, Feminist, Internationalist by Laura Beers

A meticulous account of Ellen Wilkinson's involvement in socialist, feminist and internationalist organisationsin Britian in the early part of C20th. A slow and detailed read, worthwhile for anyone interested in the history of these movements or of women in politics.
