Eva Collett Reckitt : ウィキペディア英語版 | Eva Collet Reckitt Eva Collet Reckitt (1890 - 1976) was the founder of the left-wing bookshop Collet's on Charing Cross Road, London, in 1933. ==Biography== Reckitt was elected in 1927 to the executive of the Labour Research Department. One of the heirs to the Reckitt family business, formerly Reckitt & Colman and now part of Reckitt Benckiser, she supported the Communist Party of Great Britain from the 1920s to the 1950s. Her philanthropic efforts included being a shareholder for Plato Films Ltd, the body established in 1951 to provide the Left and in particular the Communist movement with films from the Socialist part of the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CPGB Bibliography )〕 Her political affiliations put her at odds with her brother, the Anglo-Catholic writer and editor Maurice B. Reckitt. Described by one MI5 officer as "the Communist Party's milch-cow," she was under surveillance from 1923 to 1953.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title = Eva Collet Reckitt )〕 In her obituary in the journal ''History Workshop'', to which she had lent her support, Raphael Samuel described her socialism as "a living thing, a matter of thought, criticism and conviction," and built upon "personal loyalties nourished by a lifetime's activity."
