An acronym for "Early Money is Like Yeast" (it makes the dough rise), EMILY'S LIST UK was launched in February 1993 to raise money to help women members of the Labour Party with the cost involved in seeking Parliamentary Selection.

The 1997 General Election saw a large increase in the number of women in the House of Commons with 101 Labour women MPs, 14 Conservative women, 3 Liberal-Democrats, and two Scottish Nationalist Party women, a total of 120 plus Betty Boothroyd, the Speaker of the House.
