Ruby Part

Ruby Docie Quarrell Part (1894 – 1969) was a British trade unionist and political activist.

Born in Swindon, Part trained as a milliner and moved to Bristol. Shocked by working conditions, in 1913 she joined the Workers' Union, and soon began working full-time as a union organiser, in Somerset, opening a chain of branches for women glovemakers. She later became the union's national women's organiser. She also joined the Independent Labour Party and the No More War Movement.[1][2][3]

In 1928, Part married John Davies, a prominent figure in the Workers' Educational Association, and she became Ruby Davies.[4] She stood for the Labour Party in Wells at the 1929 UK general election, taking third place, with 15% of the vote.[5]
