THIS Thursday at 6pm, I’ll be talking about Eleanor Marx at the Marx Memorial Library & Workers’ School, to honour International Women’s Day (IWD) in the rolling MML and Islington Heritage Reds on the Green partnership programme launched last year.
As MML director Meirian Jump says, “Clerkenwell Green has been at the heart of London’s radical politics for over 600 years.”

We’ll explore Londoner Eleanor’s contribution to feminism, trade unionism, socialism and internationalism and her enduring relevance.
