Admin history
  • Dr Young was a prominent member of the Association of Scientific Workers (ASW). She was an active member of the the Central London branch, official historian of the union and apparently editor of its journal 'Scientific Worker'. Although she is not acknowledged in 'Scientific Worker' as the editor it is apparent from her papers that she acted as a photo-journalist for the journal. She was also active as a campaigner for disarmament and generally as a publicist and writer.
