  • only a woman henrietta barnett Social Reformer and founder of hampstead garden suburb
    2006
    Co-Authors: Alison Creedon
    Abstract:

    Henrietta Barnett is best known for her role as the founder of Hampstead Garden Suburb, an innovative and imaginative housing development planned to provide attractive and affordable accommodation for all, regardless of income or Social class. This ambitious venture was the pinnacle of a lifetime spent campaigning for housing, educational and Social reform among the grime, squalor and deprivation of 19th- and 20th-century London. In this first full-length account of Henrietta's life and work, Alison Creedon shows how a brief experience of education inspired a pretty, petulant and pampered child to develop into a shrewd, irreverent and energetic woman whose determination to confront Social injustice persisted well into old age. She traces Henrietta's earliest work with the street urchins of Dover and the Charity Organisation Society in Marylebone through to the many years spent in the labyrinthine courts of a Whitechapel shadowed by such figures as Jack the Ripper and countless other thieves, robbers and miscreants. Based on a wide range of sources, this book challenges representations of Henrietta as a wilful and manipulative tyrant by highlighting the ingenuity with which she negotiated the psychological and Social tensions generated by the cultural expectations of middle-class married women in order to realise her most ambitious vision: Social housing and harmony for all in a pastoral setting far removed from the vice and violence of the East End of London.

  • a benevolent tyrant the principles and practices of henrietta barnett 1851 1936 Social Reformer and founder of hampstead garden suburb
    Womens History Review, 2002
    Co-Authors: Alison Creedon
    Abstract:

    Abstract This article focuses on the formation and application of the principles of Henrietta Barnett (1851-1936). Despite her lifelong and innovative commitment to Social and housing reform, she has received only perfunctory recognition in women's history. The aims here are twofold. First, this oversight will be redressed by foregrounding the subtle, shrewd and imaginative means of persuasion Barnett used in the pursuit of her ideals. Second, her principles and practices will be included in a wider debate concerning the means by which middle-class women subverted dominant discourses without apparently transgressing boundaries of decency. Throughout, the intention is to problematise the widely held assumptions of her intransigence and insensitivity, which appear to have confined her to the footnotes of history.

  • Democrazia Sociale e democrazia politica in Léon Harmel
    place:Lecce, 2020
    Co-Authors: Marsala Rosanna
    Abstract:

    Pierre Louis L\ue9on Harmel (1829-1915), uomo di profonda fede cattolica, imprenditore e riformatore Sociale, esponente del cattolicesimo Sociale francese, rientra a pieno titolo tra coloro che ebbero un ruolo determinante nell\u2019apertura della Chiesa alle problematiche della societ\ue0 moderna. Visse i profondi cambiamenti economico-Sociali causati dalla rivoluzione industriale. Sensibile alle condizioni misere in cui versava la classe lavoratrice, volle fare della sua fabbrica laniera in Val des Bois nel comune di Warmeriville una sorta di comunit\ue0 in cui potessero fondersi i principi fondamentali della giustizia cristiana e le aspirazioni moderne dei lavoratori organizzati. Reclama la responsabilit\ue0 dello Stato nell\u2019ordine della giustizia Sociale, incoraggia la formazione dei primi sindacati autonomi, i soli che possano favorire l\u2019autentica promozione degli operai e si fa promotore del primo Congresso operaio cristiano da cui nasceranno le Unioni democratiche d\u2019ispirazione cristiana. Fu profeta di una democrazia cristiana che egli voleva decisamente popolare, ed \ue8 rappresentativo dell\u2019evoluzione che emerge agli inizi del secolo XIX fra i cattolici francesi che porter\ue0 all\u2019affermazione di una democrazia politica d\u2019ispirazione cristiana.Pierre Louis L\ue9on Harmel (1829-1915), a man of deep Catholic faith, a businessman and Social Reformer, and an exponent of French Social Catholicism, was one of those who played a decisive role in opening the Church to the problems of modern society. He lived through the profound economic and Social changes caused by the industrial revolution. Sensitive to the miserable conditions of the working class, he wanted to make his wool factory in Val des Bois in the municipality of Warmeriville a sort of community in which the fundamental principles of Christian justice and the modern aspirations of organized workers could merge. She claimed the responsibility of the State in the order of Social justice, encouraged the formation of the first autonomous trade unions, the only ones that could foster the authentic promotion of workers, and promoted the first Christian Workers' Congress from which the democratic Unions of Christian inspiration would be born. He was a prophet of a Christian democracy that he wanted decisively popular, and is representative of the evolution that emerged at the beginning of the 19th century among French Catholics that would lead to the affirmation of a political democracy of Christian inspiration
