 For 61 years, or, until her efforts were crowned with success, Dame Millicent Fawcett, with voice and pen, fought the battles of the wom- en of England for equal suffrage rights.
 It was for her a momentous day in May, 1867, when from behind the grille in the Ladies Gallery of the House of Commons she heard John Stuart Mill advocate wcmen's suf- frage amendment to the Preresen- tation of the People Bill.

 In the interim of more than three score years, Dame Millicent devot- ed her time, her energy, indeed her whole life to the forwarding of the feminine cause. Imbued with the fire and justice of Mills speech she began immediately to educate
