Black, Clementina.
A New Way of Housekeeping:
(Portrayer Publishers, 2004 facsimile of 1918 text).
Clementina Black (1854 - 1922) was a campaigner committed to improving the plight of working women. In this work of 1918, she urges a reorganisation of household duties, in order to free women from domestic drudgery. In her utopian vision of 'co-operative housekeeping', women would be released from the wasted effort of housework and made available for the labour market, which was now so very depleted of men after the Great War. She criticises the 'stupidity' of 'labour-making houses', and questions the continuing validity of the employment of domestic servants in the modern age. Her solution is to propose the formation of 'domestic federations'. These would represent committees of householders who would collectively manage their domestic arrangements in a centre 'fitted up with store places, kitchens, dining-rooms, offices, and lodgings for a nucleus of resident servants'. Examples of material included: women employed in housekeeping; changes in domestic standards; why not be servantless?; the distaste for domestic service; labour-making houses; domestic federations; reconstructed domestic service; the motor as emancipator; waste of labour; women who do domestic work without aptitude or satisfaction; service of women needed by the country. Paperback. New book, fine. x + 132pp. Order No. NSBK-C7548

Portrayer Reproductions, .
Replica Rectangular Votes for Women Suffragette Badge:
(Portrayer Publishers, 2018).
Rectangular, and measuring 3.5cm by 3cm, this badge is one of the larger and heavier ones in our collection. It's presented with a complimentary purple velvet pouch in an attractive silver-backed gift bag, and makes the perfect gift. (Particularly for any woman with a mind of her own!) The original badge from the suffragette era was glass-faced and contained woven fabric in the three suffragette colours. Therefore, the reproduction here has been created in transparent metallic enamels to give the idea of glass, and it also displays a downward gold-plated 'striping' to give the woven effect. The badge is secured at the back with two rubber butterfly-clutches. Badge. Brand new, fine. pp. Order No. NSBK-C15568
