Suffragist Millicent Fawcett was born on 11 June 1847. (She was a suffragist, not a suffragette. Suffragists campaigned peacefully for women to have the vote). Some women were given the vote in Britain in 1918 and all women over 21 were given the vote in 1928. Millicent lived long enough to see it. She died in 1929. https://localhistories.org/a-short-biography-of-millicent-garrett-fawcett/
