The Co-operative Womens Guild was established in 1883 by women within the movement to provide representation for working women and their interests, and spread co-operation in working class communities where women had traditionally always worked and had increasing spending power.

The increased pace of the industrial revolution throughout the nineteenth century meant that more and more women were needed to provide labour in factories and mills throughout Britain. Unfortunately, this did not immediately lead to better representation and rights for those women in society at large. By 1884 60% of male heads of households over the age of 21 could vote, but no women could.
