This absorbing account of the life and work of Clara Collet, a
leading economist, statistician and champion of women's employment,
is the first biography of this remarkable woman and reveals through
Collet's diaries her fascinating personal life. An early female
university graduate (1880), then teacher, she campaigned for the
secondary education provision of girls at a time when it was
negligible. Her other major contribution was in raising the status
of working-class women, becoming a Commissioner for the Royal
Commission on Labour (1892). She was close to the family of Karl
Marx, particularly with Eleanor Marx, and with Beatrice Webb. Her
enduring friendship with the cult Victorian author George Gissing
deeply influenced his writing. Her working relationships with
Charles Booth, Lloyd George, Ramsay MacDonald and Winston Churchill
are also celebrated
