Millicent Fawcett
Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett
(; 11 June 1847 – 5 August 1929) was an English political activist and writer. She campaigned for
women's suffrage
by
legal change
and in 1897–1919 led Britain's largest women's rights association, the
National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies
(NUWSS), explaining, "I cannot say I became a suffragist. I always was one, from the time I was old enough to think at all about the principles of Representative Government." She tried to broaden women's chances of higher education, as a governor of
Bedford College, London
(now
Royal Holloway
) and co-founding
Newnham College, Cambridge
in 1875. In 2018, a century after the
Representation of the People Act
, she was the first woman honoured by a
statue in Parliament Square
.
