This book provides an accessible introduction to the life, work,
and particularly the ideas of Eleanor Rathbone. A prominent figure
in British politics, both as a suffragist and as a Member of
Parliament, she is best known today as the leading proponent for
the introduction of family allowances. Johanna Alberti outlines and
explores the development of Eleanor Rathbone's ideas presenting
them in the political and intellectual context of her time - a
period of major change for women. Beginning with a survey of
Eleanor Rathbone's personal and ideological heritage, the text goes
on to examine her move from philanthropy to political action, her
ideas on suffrage, and her astute approach to questions of equality
and difference. The book also considers the impetus behind her
entry into parliament, the way she expressed and shaped her ideas
within a parliamentary setting, her involvement in Indian affairs,
and finally her passionate commitment to the cause of refugees.
