Abstract

Selected as the Labour Party’s chief woman officer in 1918, Dr Marion Phillips played a prominent role in the British labour women’s movement before, during and after the Great War. However, her brief stint as Labour MP for Sunderland between 1929 and 1931 has not attracted the same level of academic attention as the parliamentary careers of other early women MPs. Phillips’s connection to the North East of England throughout the 1920s illuminates her work as chief woman officer, as well as the prominence of the labour women’s movement in the region. This article focuses on Phillips’s relationship with the labour movement in County Durham to understand how she was selected as a parliamentary candidate for Sunderland. The annual women’s gala, first held in June 1923, and the Women’s Committee for the Relief of Miners’ Wives and Children formed in response to the 1926 General Strike, are crucial to understanding her early connections to the region. Phillips’s sudden death in early 1932 led to a wave of local and national commemorations demonstrating the legacy of her political work.

桑德兰失去了一位名垂青史的人物":马里恩-菲利普斯在英格兰东北部,1923-1932 年
玛丽恩-菲利普斯博士于 1918 年被选为工党的首席女官员,在大战之前、期间和之后的英国劳动妇女运动中发挥了突出作用。然而,与其他早期女议员的议会生涯相比,她在 1929 年至 1931 年间担任桑德兰工党议员的短暂经历并没有引起同等程度的学术关注。菲利普斯在整个 20 世纪 20 年代与英格兰东北部的联系揭示了她作为首席女官员的工作,以及该地区劳工妇女运动的突出地位。本文重点介绍菲利普斯与达勒姆郡劳工运动的关系,以了解她是如何被选为桑德兰议会候选人的。1923 年 6 月首次举办的年度妇女盛会以及为应对 1926 年大罢工而成立的救济矿工妻子和儿童妇女委员会对了解她早期与该地区的关系至关重要。菲利普斯于 1932 年初突然去世,当地和全国掀起了纪念她的政治工作的热潮。
