A revised, updated and expanded edition of this classic feminist account of British labour history.
Critical and iconoclastic, Comrade or Brother? traces the history of the British Labour Movement from its beginnings at the onset of industrialisation through its development within a capitalist society, up to the end of the twentieth-century.



Written by a leading activist in the labour movement, the book redresses the balance in much labour history writing. It examines the place of women and the influence of racism and sexism as well as providing a critical analysis of the rival ideologies which played a role in the uneven development of the labour movement.

Mary Davis is Professor of Labour History at London Metropolitan University. She has written widely on labour and women's history, most recently Sylvia Pankhurst (Pluto, 1999) and Comrade or Brother? (Pluto, 2009).
