Marion Coates Hansen
Marion Coates Hansen, born Marion Coates (c.1870 – 2 January 1947), was a feminist and women's suffrage campaigner, an early member of the militant Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and a founder member of the Women's Freedom League (WFL) in 1907. She is generally credited with having influenced George Lansbury, the Labour politician and future party leader, to take up the cause of votes for women when she acted as his agent in the general election campaign of 1906. Lansbury became one of the strongest advocates for the women's cause in the pre-1914 era.
Hansen spent her almost her whole life in Middlesbrough, and was an active member of the local Independent Labour Party (ILP). Born into the well-to-do Coates family, she was drawn to socialism through her association with Joseph Fels, the American industrialist and social reformer for whom she worked as a nanny in Philadelphia in the early 1890s. She was one of a group who left the WSPU in protest against the increasingly autocratic attitudes of Emmeline Pankhurst and her family towards the organisation's general membership. After the First World War she took up local politics in Middlesbrough, became a local councillor in Middlesbrough, and was involved in housing reform and slum clearance. Her contributions to the cause of women's rights has largely been overlooked by historians, who have tended to concentrate on higher profile figures.
==Early life==
Little information has been published about Hansen's early life, education and upbringing. She was born Marion Coates in 1870 or 1871, in Osbaldwick, Yorkshire. While she was still a young child, the family moved to the Linthorpe district of Middlesbrough.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=1881UKI&rank=1&new=1&so=3&MSAV=0&msT=1&gss=ms_f-70&gsfn=Marion&gsln=Coates&msbdy=1870&msbpn__ftp=Middlesbrough%2C+Yorkshire%2C+England&msbpn=1682149&msbpn_PInfo=8- )〕 Among her siblings were two older brothers: Charles and Walter, who became successful businessmen, and were associated with the American industrialist and social reformer Joseph Fels.〔Shepherd 2002, p. 61 and p. 84〕〔 Through the Fels connection Hansen travelled to Philadelphia, probably in the late 1880s or early 1890s, where she worked for a time as a nanny in the Fels household.〔Shepherd 2002, pp. 84–85〕
During her American sojourn Hansen discovered and was inspired by the poetry and democratic philosophy of Walt Whitman.〔 On her return to England she became an active proponent of socialism and women's rights, using the pages of the radical socialist journal ''Justice'' to attack the standard Victorian male prejudices concerning the roles of women in society.〔Shepherd 2002, p. 39〕 When one leading socialist opined that women ought to be "captivated and charmed by the beauties and possibilities of socialism", Hansen wrote a condemnatory reply in ''Justice'' magazine: "We women are not going to be bought like goodies ... We are coming as comrades, friends, warriors to a state worthy of us, not to dolldom".〔Hunt, p. 201〕 Around 1900 she married Frederick Hansen, a member of a well-to-do Middlesbrough family with socialistic beliefs. The Hansen and the Coates families were influential members of the local Independent Labour Party (ILP), in which Marion Hansen, as branch secretary, was the driving force; she, her family and their associates were known in local socialist circles as "the Linthorpe set". From time to time this group's influence and their paternalistic attitudes, in particular their permanent control over the branch's executive committee, caused resentment among the more working class membership. Another point of contention was the conflict of interest between Hansen's ILP duties and her growing interest in the politics of feminism.〔 In 1903, when the Women's Social and Political Union was founded to promote the cause of women's suffrage, Hansen became an early member.〔
