46 Five years later, Beatrice Webb was surprised by two guests she hosted in her home in London, writing in her diary, 17 May 1924: During these last days of London life I have had two miners’ wives from the Seaham Division staying with me for the Women’s Conference. … What interested me was the moral refinement and perfect manners of these two women who had never seen London before and never stayed in a house with servants. … They were completely at their ease, and their attitude to their host and hostess was more towards a class teacher and a minister of religion than to social superiors. I don’t think they had any trace of feeling that they belonged to a different class though they realised that we had greater knowledge and a wider experience of life. 47 ‘The Labour Woman’s Battle with Dirt’, in Women and the Labour Party, ed.

It was women as mothers who invented the early arts, who created music, and who evoked love,’ she writes in her Labour Leader column on 16 February 1906. Glasier’s interest in the art of everyday life can be trace to a variety of sources, including New Life socialism. On its ethical and moral tenets, see Sheila Rowbowtham and Jeffrey Weeks, Socialism and the New Life: The Personal and Sexual Politics of Edward Carpenter and Havelock Ellis (London: Pluto Press, 1977); Kevin Manton, ‘The Fellowship of the New Life: English Ethical Socialism Reconsidered’, History of Political Thought 24, no. 2 (2003): 282–304; Diana Maltz, British Aestheticism and the Urban Working Classes, 1870–1900 (Hampshire: Palgrave Macmillan, 2006); Diana Maltz, ‘Ardent Service: Female Eroticism and New Life Ethics in Gertrude Dix's The Image Breakers (1900)’, Journal of Victorian Culture 17, no. 35 Barry Supple notes ‘the perception, amounting to revulsion, with which [miners] were viewed by other members of society.’ The History of the British Coal Industry (4 vols.)

Wills asks, ‘Why should not the British miner, returning home on foot, in tram, or train, be indistinguishable from any other respectable and self-respecting artisan?’ (10). Neil Evans and Dot Jones note that ‘[a]fter pithead baths the miner appeared differently to the outside world and to his own family.’ ‘‘A Blessing for the Miner’s Wife’: The Campaign for Pithead Baths in the South Wales Coalfield, 1908–1950,’ 21–2. As late as 1923, Elizabeth Andrews was noting the resistance to the baths. In the Colliery Worker’s Magazine of September that year, she writes: ‘At present time this question is a controversial one among the miners themselves, and my experience teaches me that there is a great need for education on the matter’ (qtd in A Women’s Work is Never Done, 64).

Carter, MA 6th edition, officially endorsed by the Miners’ Federation of Great Britain. Published by the Women’s Labour League (London, 1914), 9.

In her memoir, Andrews, recounts her relationship with Glasier: On pit baths, Katherine [sic] Bruce Glasier had already done much work with the Women’s Labour Leagues … . She was delighted when I took up this campaign and gave evidence before the Sankey Commission in 1919 on pit baths and housing, on behalf of the South Wales Miners’ Federation.
