Millicent Fawcett

File:My father and mother in their old age.jpg

Fawcett was born on 11 June 1847 in Aldeburgh, to Newson Garrett (1812–1893), a businessman from nearby Leiston, and his London wife Louisa (née Dunnell, 1813–1903).{{Cite book |last1=Manton |first1=Jo |title=Elizabeth Garrett Anderson: England's First Woman Physician |date=1965 |publisher=Methuen |location=London |page=20}}{{Cite book |last=Ogilvie |first=Marilyn Bailey |title=Women in science: antiquity through the nineteenth century: a biographical dictionary with annotated bibliography |year=1986 |publisher=MIT Press |location=Cambridge, Mass. |isbn=978-0-262-15031-6 |edition=3 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/womeninscience00mari}} She was the eighth of their ten children.

According to the Stracheys, "The Garretts were a close and happy family in which children were encouraged to be physically active, read widely, speak their minds, and share in the political interests of their father, a convert from Conservatism to Gladstonian Liberalism, a combative man, and a keen patriot."{{Cite book |title=The Cause: A Short History of the Women's Movement in Great Britain |last=Strachey |first=Ray |publisher=CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform |year=2016 |isbn=978-1539098164}}

As a child, Fawcett's elder sister Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, who became Britain's first female doctor, introduced her to Emily Davies, an English suffragist. In her mother's biography, Louisa Garrett Anderson quotes Davies as saying to her mother, to Elizabeth and to Fawcett, "It is quite clear what has to be done. I must devote myself to securing higher education, while you open the medical profession to women. After these things are done, we must see about getting the vote." She then turned to Millicent: "You are younger than we are, Millie, so you must attend to that."{{Cite book |title=Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, 1836–1917 |last=Garrett Anderson |first=Louisa |publisher=Faber and Faber |year=1939}}

Aged twelve in 1858, Millicent Fawcett was sent to London with her sister Elizabeth to attend a private boarding school in Blackheath. Millicent found Louisa Browning who led the school to be a "born teacher" whereas her sister remembered the "stupidity" of the teachers.{{Cite ODNB |title=The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography |date=2004-09-23 |url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/52391 |pages=ref:odnb/52391 |editor-last=Matthew |editor-first=H.

In 1865, she attended a lecture by John Stuart Mill. The following year, she and a friend, Emily Davies, supported the Kensington Society by collecting signatures for a petition asking Parliament to enfranchise women householders.

John Stuart Mill introduced Millicent Fawcett to many other women's rights activists, including Henry Fawcett, a Liberal Member of Parliament who had intended to marry her sister Elizabeth before she decided to focus on her medical career. Millicent and Henry married on 23 April 1867. Henry had been blinded in a shooting accident in 1858 and Millicent acted as his secretary.{{Cite web |url=http://womenshistory.about.com/od/suffragists/p/fawcett.htm |title=Millicent Garrett Fawcett |publisher=About.com |access-date=23 April 2009}} Their marriage was said to be based on "perfect intellectual sympathy"; Millicent pursued a writing career while caring for Henry, and ran two households, one in Cambridge, one in London. The family together held strong beliefs in favor of proportional representation, individualistic and free trade principles, and advancement for women. Their only child was Philippa Fawcett, born in 1868, who was much encouraged by her mother in her studies. In 1890 Philippa became the first woman to obtain top score in the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos exams.Caroline Series, "And what became of the women?", Mathematical Spectrum, Vol. 30 (1997/1998), pp. 49–52.

In 1868 Millicent joined the London Suffrage Committee, and in 1869 spoke at the first public pro-suffrage meeting held in London. In March 1870 she spoke in Brighton, her husband's constituency. As a speaker she was said to have a clear voice. In 1870 she published her short Political Economy for Beginners, which was "wildly successful", running through 10 editions in 41 years.{{Cite web |url=http://www.hetwebsite.net/het/profiles/millicentfawcett.htm |title=Millicent Garrett Fawcett, 1847–1929 |publisher=The History of Economic Thought |access-date=24 April 2018}}See {{Cite book |last=Fawcett |first=Millicent Garrett |year=1911 |title=Political Economy for Beginners |edition=10 |publisher= Macmillan and Co. |publication-date=1911 |location=London, UK |url=https://archive.org/details/fawcetteconomics00fawcrich |access-date=22 June 2014}} via Archive.org. In 1871 she contributed an article to Macmillan's Magazine entitled "A short explanation of Mr. Hare's scheme of representation," concerning single transferable voting.The Preferential Ballot, Univ. of Oklahoma, 1914, p. 49 In 1872 she and her husband published Essays and Lectures on Social and Political Subjects, containing eight essays by Millicent.See {{Cite book |last1=Fawcett |first1=Henry |last2=Fawcett |first2=Millicent Garrett |year=1872 |title=Essays and Lectures on Social and Political Subjects |publisher=Macmillan and Co. |publication-date=1872 |location=London, UK |url=https://archive.org/details/essayslectureson00fawciala |access-date=22 June 2014}} via Archive.org. In 1875 she co-founded Newnham Hall and served on its council.{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Liu8A8KjDR0C&pg=PA11 |title=Distinguished Women Economists |last1=Cicarelli |first1=James |author2=Julianne Cicarelli |publisher=Greenwood |year=2003 |isbn=978-0-313-30331-9 |page=63}}

Despite many interests and duties, Millicent, with Agnes Garrett, raised four of their cousins, who had been orphaned early in life: Amy Garrett Badley, Fydell Edmund Garrett, Elsie Garrett (later a prominent botanical artist in South Africa), and Elsie's twin, John.{{Cite journal |url=http://journals.co.za/content/veld/63/1/AJA00423203_809 |title=A distinguished but little known artist: Elsie Garrett-Rice |first=D. |last=Heesom |date=1 March 1977 |journal=Veld & Flora |volume=63 |issue=1}}

After Fawcett's husband died on 6 November 1884, she temporarily withdrew from public life, sold both family homes and moved with Philippa to the house of her sister, Agnes Garrett. When she resumed work in 1885, she began to concentrate on politics and was a key member of what became the Women's Local Government Society.{{Cite book |last1=Doughan |first1=David |last2=Gordon |first2=Professor Peter |last3=Gordon |first3=Peter |title=Dictionary of British Women's Organisations, 1825–1960 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dI23AwAAQBAJ&pg=PT223 |date=3 June 2014 |publisher=Taylor & Francis |isbn=978-1-136-89777-1 |pages=223–224}} Originally a Liberal, she joined the Liberal Unionist Party in 1886 to oppose Irish Home Rule. She, like many English Protestants, felt that allowing home rule for Catholic Ireland would hurt England's prosperity and be disastrous for the Irish. In 1885, she had also voiced her support for W. T. Stead over his term of imprisonment.

In 1891 Fawcett wrote the introduction to a new edition of Mary Wollstonecraft's book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Lyndall Gordon calls this an "influential essay"; Fawcett reasserted the reputation of the early feminist philosopher and claimed her as an early figure in the struggle for the vote.{{cite book|first=Lyndall |last=Gordon |title=Vindication: A Life of Mary Wollstonecraft|location= Great Britain|publisher= Virago|date= 2005|page= 521 |isbn=1-84408-141-9}}

Fawcett was granted an honorary doctorate of law by the University of St Andrews in 1899.

She stated that Irish home rule would be "a blow to the greatness and prosperity of England as well as disaster and... misery and pain and shame". At a young age she published essays on the need for proportional representation, "electoral disabilities of women", "education of women" and addressing the national debt.https://ia903101.us.archive.org/33/items/essayslectureson00fawciala/essayslectureson00fawciala_bw.pdf

Fawcett began her political career at the age of 22, at the first women's suffrage meeting. After the death of Lydia Becker, Fawcett became leader of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS), Britain's main suffragist organisation. Politically she took a moderate position, distancing herself from the militancy and direct actions of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), which she believed would harm women's chances of winning the vote by souring public opinion and alienating members of Parliament.{{Cite book |last=Van Wingerden |first=Sophia A. |title=The women's suffrage movement in Britain, 1866–1928 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0oLxK_NHI6kC&pg=PA100 |year=1999 |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |isbn=978-0-312-21853-9 |page=100}} Despite the publicity for the WSPU, the NUWSS with its slogan "Law-Abiding suffragists" retained more support.{{Cite journal |last=Velllacott |first=Jo |title=Feminist Consciousness and the First World War |journal=History Workshop |year=1987 |volume=23 |issue=23 |pages=81–101 |jstor=4288749|doi=10.1093/hwj/23.1.81}} By 1905, Fawcett's NUWSS had 305 constituent societies and almost 50,000 members, compared with the WSPU's 2,000 members in 1913.{{Cite web |last=National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies |title=NUWSS |url=http://www.bl.uk/learning/histcitizen/21cc/struggle/suffrage/sources/source8/nuwss.html |publisher=National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies}}

She explains her disaffiliation from the more militant movement in her book What I Remember:

{{blockquote|I could not support a revolutionary movement, especially as it was ruled autocratically, at first, by a small group of four persons, and latterly by one person only.... In 1908, this despotism decreed that the policy of suffering violence, but using none, was to be abandoned. After that, I had no doubt whatever that what was right for me and the NUWSS was to keep strictly to our principle of supporting our movement only by argument, based on common sense and experience and not by personal violence or lawbreaking of any kind.{{Cite book |title=What I Remember |last=Garrett Fawcett |first=Millicent |publisher=Putnam |year=1924 |url=https://archive.org/stream/whatiremember00mill#page/184 |page=185}}}}

The South African War gave a chance to Fawcett to share female responsibilities in British culture. She was nominated to lead a commission of women sent to South Africa, sailing there in July 1901 with other women "to investigate Emily Hobhouse's indictment of atrocious conditions in concentration camps where the families of the Boer soldiers were interned." No British women had been entrusted before with such a task in wartime. Millicent fought for the civil rights of the Uitlanders "as the cause of revival of interest in women's suffrage".

Fawcett had backed countless campaigns over many years, for instance to curb child abuse by raising the age of consent, criminalise incest and cruelty to children within the family, end the practice of excluding women from courtrooms when sexual offences were considered, stamp out the "white slave trade", and prevent child marriage and the introduction of regulated prostitution in India. Fawcett campaigned to repeal the Contagious Diseases Acts, as reflecting sexual double standards. They required prostitutes to be examined for sexually transmitted diseases and if found to have passed disease to their clients, to be imprisoned. Women could be arrested on suspicion of being a prostitute and imprisoned for refusing consent to examinations that were invasive and painful. The men who infected the women were not subject to the Acts, which were repealed through campaigning by Fawcett and others. She believed such double standards would never be erased until women were represented in the public sphere.File:Blathwayt, Col Linley · Suffragettes Millicent Fawcett, Mary Blathwayt and Dr. Mary Morris.jpg, Mary Blathwayt and Fawcett at Eagle House, Bath, 1910.

Fawcett wrote three books, one co-authored with her husband, and many articles, some published posthumously.{{Cite journal |last=Rubinstein |first=David |date=1991 |title=Millicent Garrett Fawcett and the Meaning of Women's Emancipation, 1886–99 |journal=Victorian Studies |volume=34 |issue=3 |pages=365–380 |issn=0042-5222|jstor=3828580}} Her Political Economy for Beginners went into ten editions, sparked two novels, and appeared in many languages. One of her first articles on women's education appeared in Macmillan's Magazine in 1875, the year when her interest in women's education led her to become a founder of Newnham College for Women in Cambridge. There she served on the college council and backed a controversial bid for all women to receive Cambridge degrees. Millicent regularly spoke at girls' schools, women's colleges and adult education centres. In 1904, she resigned from the Unionists over free trade, when Joseph Chamberlain gained control in his campaign for tariff reform.

When the First World War broke out in 1914, the WSPU ceased all activities to focus on the war effort. Fawcett's NUWSS replaced her political activity with support for hospital services in training camps, Scotland, Russia and Serbia,{{Cite book |last1=Fawcett |first1=Millicent Garrett |title=What I remember |date=1924 |page=238 |url=https://archive.org/stream/whatiremember00mill#page/238|publisher=Putnam}} largely because the organisation was markedly less militant than the WSPU: it contained many more pacifists and support for the war within it was weaker. The WSPU was called jingoistic for its leaders' strong support for the war. While Fawcett was no pacifist, she risked dividing the organisation if she ordered a halt to the campaign and diverted NUWSS funds to the government as the WSPU had. The NUWSS continued to campaign for the vote during the war and used the situation to its advantage by pointing out the contribution women had made to the war effort. She held her post until 1919, a year after the first women had received the vote under the Representation of the People Act 1918. After that, she left the suffrage campaign and devoted time to writing books, including a biography of Josephine Butler.{{Cite book |author1=Millicent Garrett Fawcett |author2=E. M.

In 1919 Fawcett was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Birmingham. In the 1925 New Year Honours she was appointed Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire (GBE).{{London Gazette |issue=33007 |date=1 January 1925 |page=5 |supp=y}}

Fawcett died in 1929 at her London home in Gower Street, Bloomsbury.{{Cite web |url=http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=Xsihshkvu3Ri015%2BpmcwmQ&scan=1 |title=Index entry |access-date=20 July 2017 |work=FreeBMD |publisher=ONS}} She was cremated at the Golders Green Crematorium although the final resting place of her ashes is unknown.

In 1932, a memorial to Fawcett, alongside that of her husband, was unveiled in Westminster Abbey with an inscription: "A wise constant and courageous Englishwoman. She won citizenship for women."{{Cite web |url=https://www.westminster-abbey.org/abbey-commemorations/commemorations/henry-and-millicent-fawcett |title=Henry and Millicent Fawcett |website=Westminster Abbey |language=en |access-date=30 November 2019}}

Millicent Fawcett Hall was constructed in 1929 in Westminster as a place for women's debates and discussions; presently owned by Westminster School, the hall is used by the drama department as a 150-seat studio theatre. Saint Felix School, near Fawcett's birthplace of Aldeburgh, has named one of its boarding houses after her.{{Cite web|url=https://stfelix.co.uk/our-school/the-curriculum/history/|title=History}} A blue plaque for Fawcett was erected in 1954 by London County Council at her home of 45 years in Bloomsbury.{{Cite web |url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/blue-plaques/fawcett-dame-millicent-garrett-1847-1929 |title=FAWCETT, Dame Millicent Garrett (1847–1929) |publisher=English Heritage |access-date=25 April 2018}} The archives of Millicent Fawcett are held at The Women's Library, London School of Economics, which in 2018 renamed one of its campus buildings Fawcett House in honor of her role in the British suffrage movement and her connections to the area.{{Cite web |title=LSE renames Towers after suffrage campaigners |url=https://www.lse.ac.uk/News/Latest-news-from-LSE/2018/11-November-2018/%EF%BB%BFLSE-renames-Towers-after-suffrage-campaigners |website=London School of Economics and Political Science |access-date=4 February 2021}}

In 2018, 100 years after the passing of the Representation of the People Act, for which Fawcett had successfully campaigned and which granted limited franchise, she became the first woman commemorated with a statue in Parliament Square, by the sculptor Gillian Wearing. This followed a campaign led by Caroline Criado Perez, in which over 84,000 online signatures were gathered.

Fawcett's statue holds a banner quoting from a speech she gave in 1920, after Emily Davison's death during the 1913 Epsom Derby: "Courage calls to courage everywhere". At its unveiling Theresa May said, "I would not be standing here today as Prime Minister, no female MPs would have taken their seats in Parliament, none of us would have the rights we now enjoy, were it not for one truly great woman: Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett."{{Cite web |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-words-at-unveiling-of-millicent-fawcett-statue-24-april-2018 |title=PM words at unveiling of Millicent Fawcett statue: 24 April 2018 |website=GOV.UK |language=en |date=24 April 2018|access-date=11 November 2019}}
