Beatrice Potter Webb Knihy
22. január 1858 – 30. apríl 1943
Táto vplyvná sociologička a ekonómka sa hlboko zaoberala históriou práce a sociálnou reformou. Jej práca sa vyznačovala precíznym výskumom a odhodlaním dosiahnuť spoločenské zmeny. Zaviedla kľúčový pojem „kolektívne vyjednávanie“ a spoluzaložila prestížne inštitúcie, ktoré formovali sociálne a ekonomické myslenie. Jej odkaz spočíva v trvalom dopade na modernú sociálnu politiku a robotnícke hnutie.
