She is from the soft left Labour Party pressure group Labour Reform and is a regular contributor to journals such as Chartist and more occasionally Socialist Campaign Group News.
Her efforts to impress the importance of women's suffrage on such reform leaders as Henry Brougham and Richard Cobden proved of little use, as did her efforts with the Chartist leadership.
He became a leading figure in the "National Charter Association" in the phase of its decline, together with his friend George Julian Harney, and helped to give the Chartist movement a clearer socialist direction.
Further background about his life was published in Recollections of Seventy Years (1888) by the African-American Methodist minister Daniel Alexander Payne D.D. LL.D; and by his brother-in-law, the Chartist radical and writer Thomas Cooper in his autobiography (dedicated to Frederick Jobson), published in 1857.
The Chartism movement that grew in response to the Reform Act, later resulted in what is known as the Chartist Riot of 1848.
Other essays addressed Owenism, Chartism, the Chartist Land Plan, gender and autobiography, vegetarianism and popular journalism.
As well as founding the Uxbridge Chartist branch John Bedford Leno also daringly established the Eton branch in Windsor which was the home of Queen Victoria.
In this post he took an important part in quelling the Chartist Riots.
This decided not to offer evidence into the Government inquiry into trade unions, and also voted against 20-12 against joining the Chartists, although it did actively oppose the Corn Laws.
It was here that the Chartist leader Henry Vincent, who had sought the right of all men to vote in parliamentary elections, was imprisoned before being tried at the assizes.
Along with John Frost and William Jones, he led a large column of men from the Nantyglo area to march south reaching the outskirts of the town Newport at about 9am; halting at St. Woolos church, then moving as a mass to Stow Hill, continuing to the square, and on to the Westgate Hotel, Newport.
