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.

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