- This is 150,000-word monograph was based on archival materials from 8 different countries much of which had not been included in previous biographical studies. The research began in 2003. It applied global and transnational perspectives to the biography of Ellen Wilkinson, probing political travel as a transformative aspect of her political trajectory, bringing a fuller understanding of her engagement in social movements, networks and events. It challenged conventional accounts of Wilkinson as a tireless and unchanging political figure. By death, she had reversed many of her previous positions such as anti-imperialism and become a Cold War anti-communist.
