- Ethel, Viscountess Snowden, née Annakin, was born in Pannal, near Harrogate in Yorkshire, England, the daughter of a nonconformist building contractor who later served as mayor of Harrogate. She trained as a teacher at Edge Hill College in Liverpool, and did social work in the slums of the city. She also became a socialist and joined the Fabian Society. In 1905, she married Philip Snowden, an aspiring Labour candidate for Parliament. Ethel became an outspoken public speaker, and a leading feminist and campaigner for women's suffrage. She also founded the Women’s Peace Crusade to oppose World War I. She helped her husband become a successful politician who rose to become Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1924. She became Viscountess Snowden when he received a peerage in 1931. She wrote The Woman Socialist (1907) and The Feminist Movement (1913). Among her pamphlets were Women and the State (1907) and British Standards of Child Welfare (1926).
Following a trip to Russia, she wrote Through Bolshevik Russia (1920) that was highly critical of Lenin and the Bolshevik government. In 1926, she was named to a term as a member of the BBC Board of Governors.
