Nutter, D.A. Honors Director ______________________________ Date JOSEPHINE BUTLER AND RUTH 3 Abstract This thesis analyzes how the protagonist in Elizabeth Gaskell’s novel Ruth (1853) challenged the stereotypes projected onto the fallen woman in nineteenth century England. The prime moral figure, Mr. Benson, a clergyman in the story, cares for Ruth and provides for her with the help of his sister. Their kindness to a woman who would have been considered an outcast argues for a different response to sin than what society suggested. After reading the novel, Josephine Butler acted upon the novel’s ethos and became an activist for women who were viewed as social outcasts because they were prostitutes or unwed mothers. This eventually led not only to social reform, but also legal, as her work helped repeal the Contagious Diseases Act in 1886 (Watt 1). This had long lasting implications for women’s emancipation movement (Hamilton 27). The novel’s influence on Butler shows how literature can challenge, on moral grounds, people’s reactions to those less fortunate, as well as motivate practical change in the forms of social and legal activism and reform.

  • “The Defection of Women”: the New Zealand Contagious Diseases Act Repeal Campaign and Transnational Feminist Dialogue in the Late Nineteenth Century
    1 “The Defection of Women”: the New Zealand Contagious Diseases Act Repeal Campaign and Transnational Feminist Dialogue in the Late Nineteenth Century James Keating (UNSW) [email protected] Author accepted manuscript of ‘“The Defection of Women”: the New Zealand Contagious Diseases Act Repeal Campaign and Transnational Feminist Dialogue in the Late Nineteenth Century,’ Women’s History Review 25, no. 2 (2016): 187–206. 2 Abstract: Over the past decade, historians have situated feminist reformers’ efforts to dismantle the British imperial contagious diseases apparatus at the heart of the transnational turn in women’s history. New Zealand was an early emulator of British prostitution regulations, which provoked an organised repeal campaign in the 1880s, yet the colony is seldom considered in these debates. Tracing the dialogue concerning the repeal of contagious diseases legislation between British and New Zealand feminists in the 1890s, this article reaffirms the salience of political developments in the settler colonies for metropolitan reformers. A close reading of these interactions, catalysed by the Auckland Women’s Liberal League’s endorsement of the Act in 1895, reveals recently enfranchised New Zealand women’s desire to act as model citizens for the benefit of metropolitan suffragists. Furthermore, it highlights the asymmetries that remained characteristic of the relationship between British feminists and their enfranchised Antipodean counterparts. 3 ‘The Defection of Women’: the New Zealand Contagious Diseases Act repeal campaign and transnational feminist dialogue in the late nineteenth century Despairing of the faltering imperial campaign to abolish state-regulated prostitution, in 1895 the British social purity activist Josephine Butler decried the tendency for women’s organisations to advocate regulation.

    7 Instilling ‘responsibility’ in the young If only for reasons of self-preservation, Labour was obliged to draw some young people into the party so they could eventually replace its elderly stalwarts.1 Electoral logic also dictated that Labour had to ensure the support of at least a respectable proportion of what was an expand- ing number of voters. Consequently, the 1955 Wilson report on party organisation (see Chapter 2) expressed particular concern about the consequences of Labour’s inability to interest youngsters in the party.2 Many members were, however, uncertain about the purpose, manner and even merit of making a special appeal to the young. The 1960s began with commentators asserting that most young adults were materi- ally satisfied and so inclined to Conservatism, but the decade ended with the impression that many young people had become alienated from society and embraced far-left causes. This shift in perceptions did not exactly help clarify thinking. Those who have analysed Labour’s attempt to win over the young tend to blame the party’s apparent refusal to take their concerns seriously for its failure to do so.3 They consider Labour’s prescriptive notions of how the young should think and act inhibited its efforts. In particular, at the start of the decade the party’s ‘residual puritanism’ is supposed to have prevented it evoking a positive response among purportedly hedonistic proletarians.4 At the end of the 1960s, many believed the government’s political caution had estranged middle-class students.5 This chapter questions the exclusively ‘supply-side’ explan- ation of Labour’s failure evident in such accounts.

  • Theatre As a Weapon? the Emergence of Eeft Theatre on Mer- Seyside
    THEATRE AS A WEAPON? THE EMERGENCE OF EEFT THEATRE ON MER- SEYSIDE M.Jones, B.A. Most practitioners of left theatre, past and present, would accept that a socialist drama should remain flexible enough to respond freshly to each new political situation. Partly for this reason there is an inevitable difficulty in identifying continuous development in the history of left-wing theatre. So ignorant of even quite recent developments were those who set up the Merseyside Eeft Theatre Club (M.L.T.) (later Merseyside Unity Theatre) in 1937, that they only learned of the previous performance of socialist drama on Merseyside, and the prior existence of the Workers' Theatre Movement (W.T.M.) in the 1920s and '30s, when one of their members wrote a doctoral thesis on the subject many years later. 2 Merseyside Left Theatre was set up as a spontaneous response to an immediate political demand. In attempting to use theatre as a weapon in support of the Spanish Government against the attack of international fascism it had no inherited tradition to call upon and only a vague knowledge of similar work being conducted by London Unity Theatre Club or Manchester Theatre of Action.3 For those in agreement with Raphael Samuel, who seeks to portray Unity Theatre as a return to conventional theatri­ cal forms and a retreat from 'true' socialist drama as compared to the work of the W.T.M., then this new Left Theatre was 'merely' a reflection of the Popular Front in Britain.* On Merseyside, unaware of the work of the W.T.M., Left Theatre unconsciously developed a very simi­ lar attitude to performance and repertoire: the first produc­ tion was an 'unconscious' mass declamation an 202 M.

  • Josephine Butler (1828 – 1906) As Depicted by Alexander Munro in Sculpture (1855) and Obituary (1907)
    85 Josephine Butler (1828 – 1906) as depicted by Alexander Munro in sculpture (1855) and obituary (1907). Philippa Toogood Abstract: The purpose of this essay is to explore the extent to which Alexander Munro’s 1855 sculpture of Josephine Butler and her obituary, published in 1907 are helpful when attempting to explore her life and achievements. The two artefacts will be examined in order to assess how much synthesis can be found between them and the impression of Josephine Butler which they present. George and Josephine Butler met Alexander Munro when he was commissioned to produce statues for the Natural History Museum in Oxford. The friendship between Munro and the Butlers continued after they left Oxford. Munro sculpted Josephine Butler three times and also produced several medallion sculptures of the couple’s only daughter, Evangeline, who died aged 5. Josephine was the leader of the Ladies’ National Association for the Repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts. She actively campaigned against the imprisonment of women accused of prostitution in Lock hospitals. ___________________________________________________________________________ Josephine Butler (1858 – 1906), the notable Victorian reformer and social activist, is a much written about and discussed character. Her pioneering work with prostitutes1 and her (eventually) successful campaign to repeal the Contagious Diseases Acts2 mark her out as an extraordinary individual. A wealth of letters and her own personal writings contribute to an impressive archive of information on her life. This is further enhanced by a number of significant biographical works including George and Lucy Johnson’s autobiographical memoir Josephine E Butler3 which is composed almost entirely of Josephine Butler’s own writing and first appeared in 1909 less than three years after her death.
