“From Liberal to Labour with Women’s Suffrage: the story of Catherine Marshall” by Jo Vellacott

This is a substantial and detailed biography of one of WILPF’s leading founding women, and Suffragists. It shows how upper middle-class Catherine, moved away from the Liberal Party of her family, as it failed to implement women’s suffrage. Catherine was a clever political operator who managed the records of the No Conscription Fellowship during the First World War when the leading Conscientious Objectors were all in prison. Sadly this book only takes Catherine’s story up to the outbreak of war and before the founding of WILPF.
