FBU women delegated at the austerity dinner

This photo shows women delegates attending the FBU annual conference 'austerity' dinner. Herbert Morrison, Ellen Wilkinson and Anne Loughlin [centre in check jacket] also attended the dinner. Behind her are Marjorie Herd [with spectacles], National Women's Organiser, and Constance Tudor-Hart, Executive Council.

In March 1943, the FBU Women's Conference had agreed to campaign for a Firewomen's Charter for equal pay, improved training, conditions and facilities, and an end to the discharging of pregnant women.
