Abstract

The Six Point Group (SPG) was established in 1921 as a non-political pressure group that was the first post-suffrage group of its kind to, in one member’s words, work towards establishing ‘equality between men and women in status, in opportunities, in rewards, in rights, and in responsibilities’. As its name suggests, the SPG worked on six points at a time, and it influenced – both directly and indirectly – the law on women’s citizenship, income tax, compensation for injury in air raids and the right to work, while igniting campaigns for equal pay. It was a hub for equal rights feminists campaigning on a broad range of issues, with numerous other pressure groups arising from it, including the Married Women’s Association.
