ABSTRACT
L Ike her predecessor, the new Principal had lost her husband in the First World War after a brief married life. Left with three young children, she had continued to keep together a true family home and at the same time engage in a full-time profession. After a short period as a tutor in economics at Newham she had taken a post in the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, and had become both parliamentary and general secretary to that body's successor, the National Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship. It was with nearly ten years' experience not only of administration but of British public affairs at their heart and centre, in the lobbies and corridors of Westminster, that in 1927 Eva Hubback came to Morley.
