“…The cultural and media industries have long been identified as sectors characterised by gendered work segregation, discrimination and lack of diversity. 7 Despite this scholarly recognition, we suggest that further critical work is needed in examining hidden, 'below the line' media work, both as a theoretical agenda and intervention in conventional narratives of media and communication history.…”

“…Twenty‐first century feminist activism mobilizes social and digital media but in first wave feminism, newspapers and pamphlets were key to feminist politicking and were vibrant even during the war. Print media enabled women to circulate politics, frame and communicate social and political change (DiCenzo et al., 2011). In studies of feminist periodical culture and suffragette media studies, historians stress how this print culture transformed women's engagement with the public sphere in dramatic activist and quieter ways based on a politics of the feminist everyday like the ELFS food writing (Green, 2017).…”

In this article, we foreground how gender, class and feminism underpin the aims and modes of mobilization of the food politics of a British first wave suffragette organization, the East London Federation of Suffragettes. Our discussion shows how upper and middle‐class suffragettes excluded working‐class women and marginalized their political gendered classed interests, raising questions about feminist cross‐class solidarities today. We focus on three of East London Federation of the Suffragettes quite different modes of mobilization: embodied protests, radical welfare community organizing and food protest writing, all of which foreground class politics. In discussing three quite distinct modes of mobilization, we highlight the rich package of strategies they created and the different classed identities and struggles in these. We show the diversity of gendered and classed social roles around which the women politicked, as workers, mothers, housewives and consumers. The historical focus enables us to “see” the activities and identifications over time to understand and map their range and dynamics. Moreover, suffragette politics have a “longtail” and continue to influence feminist politics and thinking, but the working‐class mobilizing and food politics have been much less recognized and yet offer potential insights for feminist activism, including the cost‐of‐living crisis today.
