Baroness Summerskill’s early political life in Harringay
Dr Edith Summerskill, Labour politician and feminist, began her political life in Harringay.
She entered active politics almost by chance when she was 32 and in practice in Wood Green…she was asked to fight the Green Lanes ward of Harringay in the Middlesex County Council elections, a safe Conservative seat, and she won with a healthy majority.
