Elizabeth Wolstenholme Elmy (1833-1918) was an amazing woman, an activist who fought for equality throughout her life.

Elizabeth worked tirelessly for girls’ education, for women’s right to own property and for their right to vote. Elizabeth believed in lobbying – she took part in marches, gave speeches, and created over 1600 petitions and 7000 letters.

Elizabeth lived in Congleton Cheshire. Emmeline Pankhurst dubbed her ‘the brains of the suffragist movement’, and Elizabeth is listed on the Millicent Fawcett statue in Parliament Square in London. Elizabeth’s Group is aiming to get a statue of her in Congleton. Please support us! Thank you.
