This booklet is one of a series designed to promote an understanding of women’s history in Wales. Women’s history has often been hidden, ignored or neglected. The aim of Women’s Archive Wales is to re-discover the women who have contributed so much to our history and to restore them to their rightful place. In this booklet we have chosen to focus on ten women or groups of women whose stories can be told while walking along this specific route. It is an eclectic mix of women from all classes and backgrounds. Enjoy! Croeso i Daith Gerdded Treftadaeth Menywod Caerfyrddin, Archif Menywod Cymru.

Alice Abadam (1856-1940) 26 Picton Terrace/26 Teras Picton Alice Abadam was born in Middleton Hall in 1856. She was educated by governesses and, by the time she moved to Carmarthen in the 1880s, had become an accomplished musician, artist and linguist and had converted to the Roman Catholic faith. In 1901, she met Dr Alice Vowe Johnson, who had been appointed as a psychiatrist to St. David’s Hospital, the County Asylum. They were partners for the rest of their lives and, in 1903, they moved together to London where both became active in political and social causes. Alice Abadam was one of the signatories on the letter which resulted in the formation of the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies. She was a formidable and able public speaker and, in 1918, Alice formed the Feminist League under her own chairmanship, continuing to campaign vigorously until women were granted the vote on the same terms as men. ‘The Two Alices’ are buried together in St Mary’s graveyard. Ganwyd Alice Abadam ym Middleton Hall yn 1856. Addysgwyd hi gan athrawesau preifat ac, erbyn iddi symud i Gaerfyrddin yn y 1880au, roedd wedi dod yn gerddor, artist ac ieithydd medrus ac roedd wedi troi at y ffydd Babyddol. Yn 1901, cyfarfu â Dr Alice Vowe Johnson, a oedd wedi’i phenodi’n seiciatrydd yn Ysbyty Dewi Sant, Seilam y Sir. Roeddent yn bartneriaid am weddill eu hoes ac, yn 1903, fe symudon nhw gyda’i gilydd i Lundain lle bu’r ddwy yn weithgar mewn achosion gwleidyddol a chymdeithasol. Roedd Alice Abadam yn un o’r rhai a lofnododd y llythyr a arweiniodd at ffurfio Undeb Cenedlaethol Cymdeithasau Rhyddfreinio Menywod. Roedd hi'n siaradwraig gyhoeddus eithriadol a galluog ac, yn 1918, ffurfiodd Alice y Gynghrair Ffeministaidd o dan ei chadeiryddiaeth ei hun, gan barhau i ymgyrchu'n frwd nes bod menywod yn cael y bleidlais ar yr un telerau â dynion yn 1928. Mae’r ‘Ddwy Alices’ wedi'u claddu gyda'i gilydd ym mynwent y Santes Fair. 3 2. Rachel Barrett (1874-1953) 8 Morley Street/Heol Morley Rachel Barrett was born in 1874, the daughter of ‘Welsh, Welsh speaking parents’. Rachel won a scholarship to Aberystwyth University where she gained a B.Sc. in mathematics and science. Having taught in Carmarthen, she moved to Penarth County School and became involved with the suffrage movement, helping Adela Pankhurst in Cardiff. Rachel then moved to London and was a prolific public speaker and co-editor of The Suffragette magazine. She was also a photographer, taking many of the most famous pictures of suffragettes. In 1913 Rachel was arrested and charged with conspiracy. She was sentenced to nine months in prison and was incarcerated in Holloway and Canterbury prisons. There she became a hunger and thirst striker. After WW1, Rachel continued to campaign for women’s rights and died in Sussex in 1953. She was a key figure in the Suffrage movement and her full contribution is yet to be recognised. The Unveiling of Rachel Barrett’s Blue Plaque, November 2018 Dadorchuddio Plac Glas Rachel Barrett, Tachwedd 2018 Ganwyd Rachel Barrett yn ferch i ‘Gymry, Cymraeg, eu hiaith’. Enillodd hi ysgoloriaeth i Brifysgol Aberystwyth lle enillodd radd B.Sc. mewn mathemateg a gwyddoniaeth. Ar ôl dysgu yng Nghaerfyrddin aeth yn athrawes yn Ysgol Sir Penarth a daeth yn rhan o'r mudiad rhyddfreinio menywod yng Nghaerdydd, gan helpu Adela Pankhurst. Symudodd Rachel i Lundain ac roedd hi'n siaradwraig gyhoeddus doreithiog a chyd- olygydd cylchgrawn The Suffragette. Roedd hi hefyd yn ffotograffydd a thynnodd lawer o'r lluniau enwocaf o swffragetiaid. Yn 1913 cafodd ei harestio a’i chyhuddo o gynllwyn. Fe'i cafwyd yn euog a dedfrydwyd hi i naw mis yn y carchar a chafodd ei charcharu yng ngharchardai Holloway a Chaergaint. Yno aeth ar streic newyn a syched. Ar ôl y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf, parhaodd Rachel i ymgyrchu dros hawliau menywod a bu farw yn Sussex yn 1953. Roedd yn ffigwr allweddol yn y mudiad rhyddfreinio menywod ac nid yw ei chyfraniad llawn wedi'i gydnabod eto. 4 3. Edith Hunter (1846-1923) Parc-y-felfed Edith Hunter, a member of a well-known Unitarian family, lived in Carmarthen from 1863 until her marriage in 1877. By April 1875, Edith had been appointed as secretary to the RSPCA in South West Wales and she was described as ‘the principal mover in the matter’. Edith brought many successful prosecutions, including several relating to the welfare of donkeys used in cockle gathering. It is clear that Edith’s work on behalf of the Society was exceptional, attracting international attention, particularly in the United States of America. The anti-vivisection movement was close to Edith’s heart and she campaigned with considerable determination and enthusiasm, organizing a petition in Carmarthen town to be presented to Parliament. Despite Edith’s relatively short time in Carmarthen she showed a deep dedication to the public life and welfare of the community with the intelligent vibrancy of an educated, forceful and committed woman. Edith Hunter and family c.1920/ Edith Hunter a’r teulu c.1920 Roedd Edith Hunter yn aelod o deulu Undodaidd adnabyddus, a bu’n byw yng Nghaerfyrddin o 1863 hyd at ei phriodas yn 1877. Erbyn Ebrill 1875, roedd Edith wedi'i phenodi'n ysgrifenyddes i'r RSPCA yn ne-orllewin Cymru. Disgrifiwyd hi fel ‘prif arweinydd yr achos’. Ymroddodd Edith i hyrwyddo'r achos gan ddod â llawer o erlyniadau llwyddiannus, gan gynnwys sawl un yn ymwneud â lles asynnod a ddefnyddid wrth gasglu cocos. Mae’n amlwg bod gwaith Edith ar ran y Gymdeithas yn eithriadol, a thrwy hynny denodd sylw yn rhyngwladol, yn enwedig yn yr Unol Daleithiau. Roedd y mudiad gwrth-vivisection yn un a oedd yn agos at galon Edith ac ymatebodd hi gyda chryn benderfyniad a brwdfrydedd, gan drefnu deiseb yng Nghaerfyrddin i'w chyflwyno i'r Senedd. Er mai am amser cymharol fyr y bu yng Nghaerfyrddin dangosodd Edith ymroddiad dwfn i fywyd cyhoeddus a lles y gymuned gyda bywiogrwydd deallus menyw addysgedig, rymus ac ymroddedig. 5 4. Laura Hirtzel Powell (1828-1901) Parc-y-felfed One of the most comprehensive accounts that has survived of Carmarthen life in the nineteenth century, is contained in the diaries of Laura Hirtzell Powell who came to the town in 1864 . Laura was born in Devon in 1828, and kept a daily diary for sixty years. The diaries themselves are well written and articulate and provide the portrait of a family who lived their lives guided by the religious and moral values which were at the core of their existence. These writings give a detailed insight into the world of the educated, unmarried middle class woman. Laura assumed responsibility for the family following her sister’s death in 1866 and she sought to bring her literary, scientific and technical knowledge and interests into the lives of her family and her community. Carmarthen women looked to her for advice on such matters as the operation and purchasing of sewing machines and the installation of gas into their homes. Mae un o'r adroddiadau mwyaf cynhwysfawr sydd wedi goroesi o fywyd Caerfyrddin yn y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg yn nyddiaduron Laura Hirtzell Powell a ddaeth i'r dref yn 1864. Ganwyd Laura Hirtzell Powell yn Nyfnaint yn 1828, a bu’n cadw dyddiadur dyddiol am drigain mlynedd.

  • A Corpus Linguistic Investigation Into the Media
    A CORPUS LINGUISTIC INVESTIGATION INTO THE MEDIA REPRESENTATION OF TilE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT KA TIIERINE E. GUPTA, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2013 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk THESIS CONTAINS CD Abstract This thesis focuses on the representation of the women's suffrage movement in The Times newspaper between 1908 and 1914. I assemble two focused corpora from texts from News International's The Times Digital Archive: the 7 million word Suffrage corpus and the 400,000 word Letters to the Editor corpus. I then combine historical research into the suffrage movement, corpus linguistic analysis of social discourses and approaches drawn from critical discourse analysis. The suffrage movement was not a unified one; it was composed of various groups with differing backgrounds, ideologies and aims. Historians working with suffragist-produced texts have noted different terminology used to describe different factions of the movement. Less attention has been paid to how the suffrage movement was perceived by those outside the movement, and particularly how it was represented in the press. Central to this thesis is Deleuze and Guattari's (1987) argument that polyvocal, heterogeneous entities are simplified and erased by those in power. I demonstrate that such a simplification of diverse suffrage identities occurs on a lexical level through the consistent use of suffragist to describe all suffrage campaigners, including acts more commonly associated with suffragettes. This conflation of identities also occurred on a textual level through what I define as the 'suggestive placement' of texts within an article.

  • NEWSLETTER December 2018
    _______________________________________________________________________________________ NEWSLETTER December 2018 www.womansarchivewales.org_______________________________________________________________ Spanish Influenza – The biggest killer of women during WWI. 1918 has seen the celebration of partial female suffrage and the centenary of the Armistice that ended the War on 11th November. It also marks the centenary of the outbreak of the Spanish Influenza pandemic of 1918 – 19, which killed many times more people world-wide than the War itself. 100 years ago the epidemic was at its height in Europe. It is still not clear exactly how the disease reached Britain, and Wales in particular. The virus may have been brought from the USA with the entry of American troops into the War. Certainly the large movements of people during wartime led to its rapid spread. The illness first appeared in Britain and Europe in the spring of 1918; a serious flu epidemic, but nothing out of the ordinary. Then it resurfaced in early autumn as a very different affair. Unlike conventional flu, as well as the very old and very young the virus particularly attacked the age-group 24 – 35, the age of most men and women serving during the War. Nurses were particularly vulnerable. More than twenty nurses currently recorded on the Women, Wales and War website died of flu, or of pneumonia following flu. Nurses Hilda Downing of Newtown, Hannah Dunlop Mark of Bridgend and Rosina Lloyd, place of birth unknown, all died on 10th October 1918. Many caught the flu from patients they were nursing, including Lily Jenkins from Ammanford and Hylda Salathiel of Pencoed (in her case, the patient recovered and sent flowers to her funeral).

  • Suffrage in Nottingham
    Suffrage in Nottingham February 6th 2018 marked 100 years since the first women got the vote in parliamentary elections and while this was not all women, it was a significant staging post to the full franchise gained in 1928. Women over 30 meeting the property requirement, some 8 million, were able to vote for the first time in the election in December 1918 and women were also able to stand for election to parliament. Nottingham was recognised as one of only seven suffrage cities and was given some financial support from the government to celebrate this. This article explores the high level of activity and the contribution made by women in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. It provides an overview of this campaign and some of the key aspects and individuals who contributed to the attainment of the vote for women starting with the very first petition presented to parliament by John Stuart Mill in 1866, which was signed by 50 women from Nottingham. This was followed by Nottingham petitions in 1869 and 1870 and certainly from that time there were meetings, and both men and women were actively campaigning. In 1871 a Nottingham committee of the London based Society for Women’s Suffrage was founded and served as an umbrella organisation bringing together various temperance, religious and other groups across the city. When the National Society for Women’s Suffrage was established in 1872 as the first national group in Britain to campaign for women’s right to vote, Nottingham was quick to associate with that group. About this time a wealthy woman Lilias Ashworth Hallett was funding suffrage meetings in Nottingham and Grantham and we have evidence in Alice Dowson’s diaries of her attending suffrage events and meetings in the 1870’s.

  • The Labour Party in 1900, All the Socialist Groups in Britain Came Together and Formed the Labour Party
    Poverty in the 19th century • The census of 1851 recorded half of the population of Britain as living in towns - the first society in human history to do so. Over the previous 70 years, the population of Britain had risen at an unprecedented rate. • The towns offered a better chance of work and higher wages than the countryside, where many families were trapped in poverty and seasonal employment. On the other hand, the countryside was healthier. • A baby born in a large town with a population of more than 100,000 in the 1820s might expect to live to 35 - in the 1830s, life expectancy was down to a miserable 29. • A comparison between a desperately unhealthy large town and a small market town shows the costs of migrating in search of work and prosperity. – In 1851, a boy born in inner Liverpool had a life expectancy of only 26 years, – Compared with a boy born in the small market town of Oakhampton, who could expect to live to 57. • Large towns were thus desperately unhealthy. New epidemics were stalking the cities - cholera and typhoid were carried by polluted water, typhus was spread by lice, and 'summer diarrhoea' was caused by swarms of flies feeding on horse manure and human waste. • The problem was easy to identify and difficult to solve. Too little was invested in the urban environment, in sewers, street paving and cleansing, and in pure water and decent housing. • Matters started to change from about 1860. The conditions of the towns seemed intolerable and a source of danger - being filthy might lead to death for the rich as well as the poor.
