The ups and downs of the collection launched by Millicent Fawcett make it an apt symbol of an ongoing struggle When the Women’s Library opened a century ago, the movement it documented appeared triumphant. Most British women had gained the vote in 1918, and in 1928 suffragist campaigners would ensure that they held it on the same basis as men. The London Society for Women’s Service, led by Millicent Fawcett , intended the library to become a home for the suffrage movement’s archives. But even as they continued their fight for the vote, they were looking beyond the ballot box to other issues. The library was to hold material relating to women’s work, too. This year’s centenary is an opportunity to celebrate the institution’s unique holdings. It is also a reminder of a pivotal moment in women’s political history, as a new commemorative display at the London School of Economics (LSE), where the library is housed, shows. Among the organisations it features is the Six Point group headed by a former suffragette, Lady Rhondda . Equal pay for female teachers and equality in the civil service were two of its initial “six points” or aims. Such battles would continue long after the fight for equal suffrage had been won.

Oil Shocks & Recessionary Outcomes Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, After more than three decades of watching oil markets upend economies, one pattern keeps repeating: investors learn the wrong lessons from the last shock. The 1973 OPEC embargo taught us that geopolitical disruptions are temporary. That lesson then got everyone killed, financially speaking, in 1979. The 2003 Iraq War produced only a mild oil bump and no recession, so traders got comfortable. Then 2008 happened. Today, with Brent crude having spiked over 60% since U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran began in late February, the same dangerous reasoning is circulating again. That narrative is that this “event” is manageable and will resolve quickly. If that is the case, then the economy will absorb it. That may indeed be the case. However, the conditions that determine whether an oil shock becomes a full recession are specific, quantifiable, and worth examining with clear eyes. That is what this analysis does. Not All Oil Shocks Are The Same The post-World War II era has produced a half-dozen oil price crises significant enough to reshape the global economy. They share a surface-level similarity: prices spike, headlines scream, and politicians rage. However, beyond those commonalities, they diverge dramatically in their underlying causes and economic consequences. (Read Energy Price as an Economic Indicator ) The 1973 OPEC Embargo stands alone as the archetype. OAPEC nations cut production and placed a deliberate embargo on the United States in response to U.S. support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War. In roughly 4 months, the price of crude oil rose from $3 per barrel to nearly $12 globally, a 300% surge. The U.S. economy, already running hot with inflation at 3.4%, could not absorb the blow. GDP contracted 0.5% in 1974. Unemployment climbed from 4.6% to 9% by May 1975. The Fed raised its benchmark rate from 5.75% in 1972 to 12% by 1974 and still could not contain prices. The r...
