Millicent Garrett Fawcett
Tessa Blackstone
When Tessa Blackstone, lived in the house in London that Millicent Garrett Fawcett occupied for over 40 years, she began to discover more about the contribution Millicent had made to women's rights and realised that she has been insufficiently recognised. Millicent dedicated her life to securing women's right to vote. She led the suffragists, who were distinct from the suffragettes, because they campaigned within the law and disapproved of violence. Growing up in a family of ten children in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, Millicent and her sisters challenged Victorian views about the role of women. Marriage at 20 did not deter her from becoming a writer and feminist campaigner. Her husband, Henry Fawcett, a blind academic and Liberal politician, shared her views and encouraged her. Devastated by his early death, her grit and determination kept her going.
