Margaret Bondfield, 1929, (1935). Portrait of Margaret Grace Bondfield (1873-1953), British Labour politician, trade unionist and womens rights activist. Bondfield was the first female cabinet minister, and the first woman to be a privy counsellor when she was appointed Minister of Labour in the Labour government of 1929-1931. She was also the first woman to chair the General Council of the Trades Union Congress (TUC). In the General Election of 1929, every woman over twenty-one was, for the first time, entitled to make use of her recently acquired privilege of voting, and womens votes greatly outnumbered those of the men.
