After finishing at Oxford, she left her comfortable environment in 1949 for the more challenging terrain of Africa. When interviewed for a resident tutor post at the University College of the Gold Coast she was asked \u201cNow, Miss Bown, supposing you were to get the job and you were in the jungle when the car broke down, how do we know you wouldn\u2019t have a fit of hysterics?\u201d She simply replied \u201cWell sir if you don\u2019t give me the job, you\u2019ll never find out, will you?\u201d \u00a0This was the start of a career that would take her to Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Zambia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Her passion was always about opening up education beyond the classroom. She believed literacy wasn\u2019t just about books \u2014 it was about dignity, confidence, and giving women and rural communities a real voice in their own futures. She advised governments, wrote widely, mentored generations of students, and became a leading figure in adult education across the continent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Her life wasn\u2019t all chalk and lectures, though. In Nigeria she fostered twins, Taiwo and Kehinde, and treated them as family. She also loved African culture and dress; some of the vibrant outfits she wore during her years there were later donated to the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum in London, preserving that part of her story. Back in the UK, she carried her passion for women\u2019s rights into activism, helping to found Womankind UK, a charity supporting women\u2019s development worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Even after she returned home, she never really slowed down \u2014 still writing, speaking, and mentoring. Following her retirement from Glasgow university in 1992 she moved to Shrewsbury where she played a very active part in the local community. She died in 2021 at 94, she will be remembered not only as a pioneer of adult education in Africa, but also as someone who lived her values: a teacher, advocate, carer, and bridge between cultures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cradall.org\/content\/adult-educator-advocate-right-access-education-women%E2%80%99s-literacy-and-decolonisation\">https:\/\/cradall.org\/content\/adult-educator-advocate-right-access-education-women%E2%80%99s-literacy-and-decolonisation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"6b8675aa-88cd-4afd-85c8-5849aaa2fd31\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_4771\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4771\" style=\"width: 193px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/thewrekin\/files\/2024\/10\/Turbervill_Edith_Picton-1922_22678283618.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4771 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/thewrekin\/files\/2024\/10\/Turbervill_Edith_Picton-1922_22678283618-193x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"193\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/thewrekin\/files\/2024\/10\/Turbervill_Edith_Picton-1922_22678283618-193x300.jpg 193w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/thewrekin\/files\/2024\/10\/Turbervill_Edith_Picton-1922_22678283618.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 193px) 100vw, 193px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4771\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10px\">flickr-No known copyright restrictions. <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial black, sans-serif\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">Edith Picton-Turbervill<\/span> OBE <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">(1872-1960) <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial black, sans-serif\"><strong>Wrekin MP <\/strong><\/span><strong>1929-31<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Edith Picton-Turbervill was an English social reformer, writer, and Labour Party politician. From 1929 to 1931, she served as Member of Parliament for The Wrekin in Shropshire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Born in 1872, Edith grew up during a period when women were generally expected to marry and raise families. She chose a different path, focusing on Christian-based social and philanthropic work, which led her to involvement with the labour movement. Her experiences contributed to her belief that legislative changes were needed to improve living conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">She trained as a missionary in London, encountering urban poverty and poor working conditions in Shoreditch. In 1900, she travelled to India to work for the YWCA, primarily supporting Anglo-Indians and Indian women students, and later became travelling secretary for the YWCA Student&#8217;s Department in Southern India.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">During World War I, Edith worked through the YMCA, helping provide hostels and canteens for women munition workers and Women&#8217;s Army Auxiliary Corps members in France. She held the position of YWCA national vice-president from 1914 to 1920 and from 1922 to 1928, and received the O.B.E. in 1918.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">She addressed issues related to women&#8217;s status in society and advocated for women\u2019s rights within the Church. She wrote books and pamphlets supporting women becoming priests, preached in a full service, and was the first woman to sit on parliament\u2019s ecclesiastical committee. Edith earned the Bishop of London&#8217;s Inter-Diocesan Diploma for evangelical work and continued to write on women\u2019s place in the Church hierarchy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Edith joined the Labour Party in 1919 and ran as a parliamentary candidate for Islington North during the 1922 general election. In 1925, she was selected as the Labour candidate for The Wrekin in Shropshire, winning the seat in the 1929 general election by nearly 3,000 votes. At that time, there were fourteen women MPs among more than 600 men in the Commons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">She supported women\u2019s suffrage and participated as a suffragist. Edith organised several Parliamentary discussions about women in the police and in July 1931 argued for the employment of more trained policewomen. She introduced the Sentence of Death (Expectant Mothers) Bill, seeking to prevent death sentences for pregnant women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">As head of the British delegation to the International Congress of Women Citizens, Edith travelled to Turkey, Russia, Hong Kong, Malay, and various locations in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3533\" data-end=\"3872\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Her legacy is that of a pioneering reformer: a woman who broke barriers in the Church of England, fought for social justice, and served as one of the early female Labour MPs. She stood at the intersection of faith, feminism, and politics, embodying the drive for equality and compassion in both national and international contexts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Edith_Picton-Turbervill\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Edith_Picton-Turbervill<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 21px;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\"><strong>Norah Wellings<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">(1893 \u2014 1975)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/thewrekin\/files\/2024\/10\/C21C2168-75BD-443F-AAEB-0D2C8E5725A7.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4757 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/thewrekin\/files\/2024\/10\/C21C2168-75BD-443F-AAEB-0D2C8E5725A7-243x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/thewrekin\/files\/2024\/10\/C21C2168-75BD-443F-AAEB-0D2C8E5725A7-243x300.jpeg 243w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/thewrekin\/files\/2024\/10\/C21C2168-75BD-443F-AAEB-0D2C8E5725A7.jpeg 275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/a>Norah was a successful female entrepreneur.
