Silvia Rodgers, Lady Rodgers (3 March 1928-8 October 2006), born Silvia Szulman, was a German-Jewish-British writer and political activist. She was married to Bill Rodgers, Baron Rodgers of Quarry Bank.

Early life

Rodgers was born in Wedding (Berlin) to working-class Jewish parents.[1] Her parents were members of the Communist Party of Germany.[2][3] Her mother insisted that Silvia not participate in the Nazi salute at school.[3] In an afterword to Rodgers's memoir, Rodgers wrote "When I was ten and still in Berlin, I had that feeling that there was nothing I could not do".[4]

The family came to Britain in 1939.[5]

Marriage and political involvement

Silvia Rodgers and Bill Rodgers married in 1955.[5] The couple had three daughters: Rachel, Lucy and Juliet.[1]

Rodgers influenced her husband's political career, particularly his decision to leave the Labour Party and set up the Social Democratic Party.[1] Bill Rodgers said that most of the child-rearing fell to Silvia and that he was neglectful; she also worked as a dentist when he was first in parliament as they were not well-off.[6] She was noted as a political hostess.[1].[5]

Rodgers described herself as feeling like an outsider, dislocated and marginal.[1]"[4]

Artistic career

Rodgers was a sculptor.[5]

Research and writing

Rodgers completed a PhD in anthropology at Oxford, on the subject of the rituals of ship-launching: The symbolism of ship launching in the Royal Navy (1983).[1]

She was a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.[1]

Her writings include:

  • "Women's space in a men's house: the British House of Commons" (1981), in Women and Space: Ground Rules and Social Maps, ed. Ardener, S
  • A memoir, Red Saint, Pink Daughter: a communist childhood in Berlin and London (1996), shortlisted for the Jewish Quarterly-Wingate Prize[7]
  • The Politician's Wife: life with Bill Rodgers (2007)
