'The victory of ideals must be organized': Labour Party women organizers in the inter-war years

This article examines the work of Labour Party women organizers and their activities at a regional level in the inter-war years. It looks at their role in building up the women's sections, in providing education and training and in taking part in electoral campaigning and asks to what extent their methods of organizing were gendered. It argues that the women organizers played an important part in persuading women in the home to become active in the Labour Party and that politics was relevant to their daily lives and would broaden their horizons as women. © The Author(s), 2010
