Description
This is a collection of pamphlets collected by Ruth Cavendish-Bentinck, socialist and suffragist, which have been bound into volumes. The collection contains many pamphlets relating to the women's suffrage campaign from the 1860s to approximately 1900. Other topics are also covered, such as Octavia Hill and her work with the poor (volume 1), the Marriage Law Reform Association (volume 22), The Women's Institute (the club, not the National Federation of Women's Institutes, volume 23) and women's suffrage in the United States (volume 35).
We are grateful to the Friends of The Women's Library for assisting with the digitisation of this collection.
