ABSTRACT

An affectionate and admiring portrait by Sanger’s companion. Following her education at Newnham (arranged by her brother, the mathematician and barrister C.P.Sanger), she became secretary to the Legal Advice Bureau attached to the Women’s Trade Union League, where she met Mary Macarthur and Margaret Bondfield. During the war she helped with the Queen’s Work for Women Fund, and campaigned for a reduction in working hours, but her passion was for promoting an international minimum of wellbeing, which she pursued via Labour and pacifist circles, and ultimately by working for the International Labour Organisation, at home and abroad.
