English sociologist, economist, feminist and social reformer Beatrice Webb died #OTD in 1943.

Some of her key works, often co-authored with her husband, include The History of Trade Unionism (1894) and Industrial Democracy (1897). One of her most significant research endeavors was her study of the British poor, which resulted in the seminal work The Poor Law Report of 1909.
