Hilda Martindale. Autograph Letter Signed. Dated April 24 1939. 1 page. 7 x 4.5 in. Black ink on light blue paper. In her hand Martindale writes in thanks of a friend's encouragement and sends a copy of her recent work. In full: "Here is my book.

Perhaps you would tell people about it" Martindale was an important advocate for women's employment rights in her day; she made history as one of the first woman factory inspectors in Victorian England and rose to become the Deputy Chief of her department. In 1938 she published a book on the history of women civil servants likely the book she references in the letter and upon her death her estate established a foundation dedicated to assisting British women working in male-dominated fields.
