The Aëthnic Union was a radical feminist organisation based in London, England, founded around 1911 by the lawyer and writer Thomas Baty, who also used the name Irene Clyde. It was associated with pacifism, egalitarianism and social arrangements that rejected binary gender categories. Members included Eva Gore-Booth, Esther Roper, Jessey Wade and Dorothy Cornish, who were active in women's suffrage, animal welfare and education. The Union organised meetings and discussion groups, and later writers have linked its ideas to those developed in the feminist journal Urania.
