SUMMARY:Victoria Gallery & Museum: Victoria Gallery & Museum: Eleanor Rathb
 one – An Independent Woman
DESCRIPTION:Eleanor Rathbone – An Independent Woman\n6 October 2018- Apri
 l 2019\nLocation: Gallery 5\, first floor\n\nSuffragist\, Politician and S
 ocial Reformer\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Eleanor Rathbone and her rema
 rkable achievements and forms part of the VG&amp\;M @ 10 celebrations and 
 also marks the centenary of the first women’s suffrage.‌\n\nEleanor Ra
 thbone was one of the most remarkable British women of the 20th Century. 
 Born into a prominent Liverpool family\, she spent her career fighting aga
 inst injustices and trying to make life better for those in need.\n\nElean
 or joined the Liverpool Women’s Suffrage Society in 1896 and was at the 
 forefront of the national suffrage movement.\n\nHer research on the workin
 g conditions at Liverpool Docks and its impact on families started a life-
 long campaign for a family allowance. Eleanor was elected Councillor for L
 iverpool’s Granby Ward in 1909\, standing as an Independent rather than 
 aligning with a political party. She held her seat for twenty-six years.\n
 \nIn 1929 Eleanor was elected M.P. for the Combined English Universities\,
  again standing as an Independent. During the Spanish Civil War and Second
  World War she worked passionately on behalf of refugees. Just months befo
 re her death in 1946\, after decades of campaigning\, the Family Allowance
  Act was passed.\n\nThis exhibition is drawn from the extensive Rathbone P
 apers held in the University of Liverpool’s Special Collections &amp\; A
 rchive.
