Ethel Carnie (1886-1962) was a working-class writer and socialist activist who campaigned for social and economic justice and the rights of working-class men and women.
She worked in the Lancashire cotton mills from the age of eleven until her early twenties.
The Quest of the Golden Garter is the most frivolous of Holdsworth's output. After the rigours of life in This Slavery, in this novel published in 1927 she turns her attention -- and her style -- to a lightweight fantasy of criminality in London, held together by unlikely romantic elements.
