In the fabulous original dust jacket: wear, creasing and a few chips to edges and extremities, tape repair to the reverse of head of spine, still, the cover art remains bright. Very good/ Good+. A pleasing copy. Dame Margaret Cole (n�e Postgate; 1893�1980, OBE, DBE) was an English socialist activist and author. A woman of talent and influence herself, who could be "personally acerbic," she was a member of the interwar "progressive intelligentsia", alongside the Webbs, working for the Fabian Research Department (ODNB). She co-founded the Society for Socialist Inquiry and Propaganda in 1930, as well as the New Fabian Research Bureau in 1931. Alongside her scholarship, Cole is known for the detective novels she co-authored with her husband, as well as the diaries and biographical accounts she produced later in life to ensure the legacy of Fabian colleagues. In 1977 she was made an honorary fellow of LSE. Here, Cole marks out Ethel Smyth, Lady Henry Somerset, Edith Cavell, Mary MacArthur, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, Laura Knight, Annie Besant, Clare Sheridan, Beatrice Webb and Rosita Forbes as her Women of Today.
