About this person

Ethel Snowden, Viscountess Snowden, was a British socialist, human rights activist, suffragist and feminist. From a middle-class background, she became a Christian Socialist through a radical preacher and initially promoted temperance and teetotalism in the slums of Liverpool. She aligned to the Fabian Society, National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies and later the Independent Labour Party, earning an income by lecturing in Britain and abroad. Snowden was one of the leading campaigners for women's suffrage before the First World War, then founding The Women's Peace Crusade to oppose the war and call for a negotiated peace. After a visit to the Soviet Union she developed a strong criticism of its political system, which made her unpopular when relayed to the left-wing in Britain.
