About the Authors

Ethel Carnie Holdsworth (1886–1962), a writer, feminist and activist from Lancashire, was the first working-class woman to have a novel published in Britain. She had at least ten novels published and wrote ‘This Slavery’ in 1925. The Rickard Sisters are graphic novelists from the same Lancashire cotton-country as Ethel Holdsworth, and have collaborated on adapting a series of early 20th-century political novels in their own lavish trademark style including ‘The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists’ and ‘No Surrender’. Scarlett is the artist and Sophie is the writer, and despite living 200 miles apart, they work closely together to perfect the development of these rich, vibrant, and inspirational books.
