Its aim was to spread the knowledge of the benefits of co-operation and improve the conditions of women with the slogan "co-operation in poor neighbourhoods". In 1885 the organisation changed its name to the Women's Co-operative Guild. In 1889 Miss Margaret Llewelyn Davies became General Secretary on a voluntary basis and Miss Lilian Harris was appointed Cashier to the Guild. Under the direction of these two women the organisation expanded rapidly from 51 branches and a membership of 1700 in 1889 to a peak of 1500 branches and a membership of 72000 in 1933. By this time the name of the organisation had again been changed to the Co-operative Women's Guild. Custodial History: Material arrived at Bishopsgate Institute in the 1980s in the post. -

Women's Voluntary Action
Women’s Voluntary Action: Social Investigations into women’s health and poverty 1900-1940 (1) Alison Penn Faculty of Social Sciences, the Open University [email protected] 1.Introduction This chapter explores some examples of women’s voluntary action around the issue of poverty and women’s health in the period 1900-1940. These examples are the Fabian Women’s Group, the Women’s Cooperative Guild and the Women’s Health Education Committee. All three involved the gathering of information about the health of women from ‘working-class’ backgrounds and the publication of reports with the intention of influencing the development of social policies. All three studies were in the tradition of social investigation in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Prior to World War 1 social investigations in conditions of the poorer sections of the community – the most famous of which were the poverty studies by Booth and Rowntree – highlighted a number of causes of poverty of which low wages, large family size were most important (Gazeley, 2003:64). Women had been involved and embarked on their own investigations. Beatrice Webb (as Potter) had been an investigator on the Booth survey (ref); Lady Bell provided a qualitative study of working- class Middlesborough (1907); and Anna Martin had studied the women of Rotherhithe (1911). Eleanor Rathbone’s 1907 investigation into dock worker’s domestic conditions (published 1909) had been overseen by a joint research committee including the Fabian Society, National Union of Women Workers, the Liverpool Statistical Society, Women’s Industrial Council, Liverpool branches of Christian Social Union and Victoria Settlement. -

A Bibliography of Female Economic Thought to 1940
A Bibliography of Female Economic Thought to 1940 Historians of economic thought have rarely given much attention to writings by women. This volume is intended to help remedy that situation. It presents a wide-ranging collection of references to women’s writings on economic issues from the 1770s to 1940. Among the more than 1,700 writers included are prolific scholars, leading social reformers, economic journalists and government officials, along with many women who contributed only one or two works to the field. The topics addressed include principles of political economy, poverty, trade unions, women’s employment, child labor, women’s property rights, imperialism, and slavery. Most of the references are to writings in English, but some works are in other languages. This bibliography will serve as a major reference work for inquiries concerning gender and economic thought. It will help illuminate the history and sociology of economics, the lives of female social scientists and activists, and the histories of labor, feminism, and social reform. Kirsten K.

Michèle Pujol taught Women’s Studies at the University of Victoria, Canada. Her 1992 book Feminism and Antifeminism in Early Economic Thought was a path- breaking study of women and gender in economics. She died in 1997 at the age of 46.
