To celebrate\u00a0 International Women\u2019s Day (March 8th<\/sup>) President Jenny had asked members to think about women who had influenced them or had made a strong contribution to improving women’s lives.\u00a0 \u00a0Several members spoke about a memorable woman of the past 100 years<\/p>\n

PRESIDENT JENNY\u00a0 <\/strong>spoke about ALICE BACON <\/strong>the first Yorkshire Woman MP. Alice was MP for Leeds North East from 1945 -1970. She entered the House of Lords as Baroness Bacon in 1970. She was born and lived in Normanton all her life.<\/p>\n

LIZ L\u00a0<\/strong>recalled\u00a0\u00a0RUTH NOBLE <\/strong>\u00a0the Founder of Beverley & District Soroptimist Club . We celebrated our 50th<\/sup> Anniversary in 2017. She was Headmistress of Beverley Girls High School.<\/p>\n

ANDREA <\/strong>\u00a0told us about \u00a0DAME CECILY SAUNDERS <\/strong>\u00a0born in 1918.\u00a0 She qualified as a Nurse, a Social Worker and in 1930 as a Doctor. She founded the Hospice Movement.<\/p>\n

SUE B\u00a0<\/strong>had research on\u00a0FREDA MAY ANDERSON, <\/strong>born in 1900 in Hull and brought up during 2 World Wars.<\/p>\n

MARGARET\u00a0<\/strong>spoke fondly of her Grandmother SARAH WOOD, <\/strong>born in 1890 in Oldham. She instilled in Margaret the determination always to do her best and taught her about catering.<\/p>\n

EMMA <\/strong>spoke about Suffrage and Suffragettes in Hull.\u00a0MARY MURDOCK<\/strong> set up the first Suffragettes movement in Hull. She was Hull\u2019s first lady Doctor !\u00a0 Suffragettes were the militant side, whereas the Suffrage movement was formed in the 1800’s with the objective of getting the vote.for\u00a0women.<\/p>\n

BARBARA E\u00a0<\/strong>told us of\u00a0WINIFRED HOLTBY,<\/strong> born in Rudston in 1898, died 1935 in London of Bright\u2019s Disease.\u00a0 She was the author of 14 books and 6 novels, probably the most famous novel being South Riding.<\/p>\n

CHRIS D<\/strong> had an illustration of a handkerchief signed in embroidery by Suffragettes, while they were imprisoned in Holloway, for refusing to keep the peace. Many were force-fed.<\/p>\n

It was suggested that each member of SI Beverley and District would embroider their name on a handkerchief which would then be buried in a time capsule beneath a Soroptimist Rose to be planted in the Memorial Garden in\u00a0 Beverley in recognition of the 50 years of the Club’s existence and the 100 years since the first women achieved the vote.<\/p>\n

President Jenny thanked everyone for their contribution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
