We're celebrating Millicent Fawcett's 175th Birthday!
The Fawcett Society's story begins with the courage and perseverance of Millicent Fawcett. She was a suffragist and women's rights campaigner, who made it her lifetime’s work to secure women the right to vote. She was only 19 when she organised signatures for the first petition for women’s suffrage, though she was too young to sign it herself. She later became President of the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies, the largest organisation agitating for female suffrage at the time. Her powerful and peaceful mass campaign was instrumental in securing the first extension of voting rights for women in 1918.
Today, we continue her legacy of fighting for women’s equality with our ground-breaking research and campaigning. And we are able to do this because of the support we receive from our incredible members.
