The Centenary of Margaret Bondfield
25/01/2024 @ 7:15 PM – 9:00 PM
Historian and researcher Sue Dockett explains “What sets Margaret Bondfield out from most other women activists at the time was that she was working class. The Pankhursts and others were all middle-class women. Margaret approached women’s rights from a working-class perspective. Her story is an incredible one – a triumph of determination and courage over the outdated beliefs of her generation.”
Sue, who wrote ‘Out of the Wilderness’, Reviving the Reputation of a Forgotten Labour Party Founder, explains “Chard Museum is really the home of Margaret’s memory, but Chard is her birthplace.” Supported by Culturally Chard the Museum will be sharing Margaret’s story at an ‘Evening with Sue Dockett’ on Thursday, January 25th in The Guildhall, Chard. Doors open at 19:15.
Please don’t miss this opportunity. It builds on the excellent Jon Gray forum, ‘Margaret Bondfield and the TUC’ held in mid-December.
