This book provides the first full-length biography of Elizabeth
Wolstenholme Elmy (1833-1918) - someone referred to among
contemporaries as 'the grey matter in the brain' of the
late-Victorian women's movement. A pacifist, humanitarian
'free-thinker', Wolstenholme Elmy was a controversial character and
the first woman ever to speak from a public platform on the topic
of marital rape. Lauded by Emmeline Pankhurst as 'first' among the
infamous militant suffragettes of the Women's Social and Political
Union, Wolstenholme Elmy was one of Britain's great feminist
pioneers and, in her own words, an 'initiator' of many high-profile
campaigns from the nineteenth into the twentiethth century. Wright
draws on an extensive resource of unpublished correspondence and
other sources to produce an enduring portrait that does justice to
Wolstenholme Elmy's momentous achievements. -- .
