The feminist-socialist point of view comes to Clerkenwell Green
Author RACHEL HOLMES invites readers to come to her talk in London about the great foremother of the working-class women’s movement – Eleanor Marx

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.”
Since its founding in 43CE when Roman armies occupied Britain under Emperor Claudius, London encompasses a global polyphony of cultures, languages, peoples and ideas. We’ll explore Londoner Eleanor’s contribution to feminism, trade unionism, socialism and internationalism and her enduring relevance.
