Excerpt from The Labour Annual: The Reformers Year-BookWomen, subjects up till two years ago generally tabooed by politicians and the Press.The interest of the man in the street in Socialism was first aroused by the return of 30 Labour Members to Parliament at the General Election, a success representing the emergence into the light of day of forces which had long been working silently underground. The woman's movement has been the bursting forth of a new and vigorous life for years bound fast by tradition and prejudice.Men and women, sick of the failures of our modern civilisation, have given a ready ear to the advocates of these new forces, who claim that they come to preach a new gospel which shall regenerate our national society.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
