Ellen Wilkinson: From Red Suffragist to Government Minister

Ellen Wilkinson was the most famous, and certainly the most outspoken British female politician. Born and bred in Manchester, she was a feminist and a socialist. In 1924, when Ellen first took her seat in parliament, she was the only woman on the Labour benches and one of only four women in the House of Commons. Join Dr Paula Bartley as she examines what it was like to be in such a minority in parliament and find out more about Ellen's achievements.
