{"product_id":"equality-island-ethel-carnie-holdsworth-9781849212427","title":"Equality island","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is not enough to say that Ethel Carnie Holdsworth was a radical, and her novels express that. There is a broader narrative to her writing that relates to the development of her politics, her reaction to domestic and world events, and contemporary political thinking in socialist circles. Equality Island is a case in point. It was serialised in The Daily Herald at a time when Ethel was concerned about fascism gaining traction in Britain and the erosion of political rights in communist Russia. These were new causes for her, more than twenty years into a writing career and a life of political campaigning which were intimately intertwined. That she found a way to conduct these two life-long quests is remarkable. It flew in the face of what was expected of someone from her class, her sex, indeed of someone from East Lancashire. But that can be said to be the essence of Ethel. She was a confirmed pacifist, yet from a young age declared war on society's expectations of her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ethel Carnie Holdsworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849212422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849212427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kennedy \u0026amp; Boyd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.64d","brand":"Ethel Carnie Holdsworth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800586760447,"sku":"9781849212427","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/equality-island-ethel-carnie-holdsworth-9781849212427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
