On this day, 13 August 1880, suffragist and union organiser Mary Macarthur was born in Glasgow. She founded the National Federation of Women Workers, and led a strike of 2000 women across London in the summer of 1911. She was a leading figure in the working class wing of the suffragette movement, who opposed World War I, and opposed voting rights being given just to wealthy women, which made her unpopular with middle class suffragettes.
