 ork among the poor of Manchester\, she campaigned on behalf of barmaids\, 
 circus performers\, flower sellers and pit-brow lasses\, her partner\, Est
 her Roper\, at her side.\n\nGore-Booth was tireless in her pursuit of just
 ice. She was a militant pacifist during the First World War\, a champion o
 f Irish independence and a pioneering thinker on gender and sexuality. She

 ose that reflect the full force of her radical convictions.\n\nProfessor
