Macpherson retained links with the French socialist movement, as the English correspondent of Le Mouvement Socialiste. She also became the London representative of the Labour Leader, and contributed to the Railway Review under the pseudonym "Margery Daw". In 1898, Macpherson joined the Fabian Society, and she served on its executive for a year in 1900/01. That year, she organised a conference of wives of members of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, which formed the Railway Women's Guild. Under her guidance, this guild became supportive of the Labour Representation Committee, and passed a motion calling on it to form a women's committee. Macpherson wrote to Ramsay Macdonald, proposing this, and after initial resistance, it was founded as the Women's Labour League. Macpherson served on its early executives. (en)
