Unearthing new evidence to provide a richer understanding of her
life, this study, now available in paperback, delves beyond the
familiar image of Ellen Wilkinson on the Jarrow Crusade. From a
humble background, she ascended to the rank of minister in the 1945
Labour government. Yet she was much more than a conventional Labour
politician. She wrote journalism, political theory and novels. She
was both a socialist and a feminist; at times, she described
herself as a revolutionary. She experienced Soviet Russia, the
Indian civil disobedience campaign, the Spanish Civil War and the
Third Reich. This study deploys transnational and social movement
theory perspectives to grapple with the complex itinerary of her
ideas. Interest in Wilkinson remains strong among academic and
non-academic audiences alike. This is in part because her principal
concerns - working-class representation, the status of women,
capitalist crisis, war, anti-fascism - remain central to
contentious politics today. -- .
