Nancy Stewart Parnell (14 May 1901 – 1975) was a British Liberal politician and trade unionist who was President of the National Union of Women Teachers.
In 1935 at a meeting in Leeds, she pointed out that women were being appointed ahead of men because they were cheaper: “Men ought to realise that they were the losers because of inequality of pay.”[3] She was active in the Liberal Party and stood as its candidate in Willesden East at the 1935 United Kingdom general election, although she took only 7.3% of the vote and a distant third place.
[1][4] Much of Parnell's time was devoted to the London Region Federation of the League of Nations Union and in 1936 she became its assistant organiser.
She later became London Regional Officer of its successor, the United Nations Association, retiring in 1960.
It was a history of St. Joan's Social and Political Alliance 1911-1961, formerly known as the Catholic Women's Suffrage Society.
