Prenter was an outspoken supporter of women's suffrage. She was president of the Political Equality League in Toronto.[1] In late 1918 Prenter and Lucy MacGregor of the Women's Social Democratic League formed a Women's Labor League (WLL) in Toronto. The WLL was a working-class organization. Prenter mocked the "silken dames ... so occupied with 'committees' and 'uplifting' that they allow the social revolution to walk right past them."[2] Prenter wrote regularly for Canadian Forward, which reported on labour and socialist topics and published feminist and pacifist material for about 30,000 readers. Her articles also appeared in the White Ribbon Bulletin and Woman's Century. She may have encouraged Gertrude Richardson to contribute to Canadian Forward from June 1917 onward.[3] In 1920 Prenter started a women's page in the Industrial Banner. She made it clear that she would not "endlessly discuss cooking, children, church and clothes." The column would be concerned with topics such as the money value of the work a woman does in the home, and whether she should be paid a wage.[4]
