Sull'autore

Millicent Garrett Fawcett was a prominent British suffragist and a key figure in the women's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom. She is best known for her leadership of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS), where she advocated for women's right to vote through peaceful and constitutional means. Fawcett's approach contrasted with the more militant tactics employed by some of her contemporaries, and she believed in the power of reasoned argument and political persuasion. Her influential writings, including essays and lectures, provided a compelling case for women's suffrage and highlighted the contributions of women to society.
