Ethel Snowden

Ethel Snowden, born Ethel Annakin (1880 - February 22, 1951), was a British socialist and feminist politician.

Ethel Snowden was a Christian Socialist and Labour Party politician and is most well known as a leading campaigner for women's suffrage. She was also an advocate of temperance, as well as being a leading member of the Women’s Peace Crusade during the First World War. Her book "Through Bolshevik Russia" (published 1920) was highly critical of political developments in Bolshevik controlled Russia, making her controversial in the Independent Labour Party, of which she was then a member.
