South London Fawcett Society commemorate the work of Milicent Fawcett

By Lucette Davies

On the 2nd July a small group of women gathered at the Suffragette Fellowship Memorial to mark the 86th anniversary of the day when parliament voted in favour of giving women the vote.

They were commemorating the work of Milicent Fawcett, who had had the honour of being able to attend parliament on that day and is the founder of the Fawcett Society that exists today.
