Abstract

After a drawing-room meeting of the Women's Union at Mrs. Hughes Williams at Anerley, followed by a committee meeting , a social gathering followed which "presented features of more than ordinary interest" as "many women of the working and middle classes had been invited, in order to discuss with the members the objects of the Society and the Questions of Suffrage." At the beginning, Mrs. Massingberd "in a simple and effective address" spoke about the evils arising out of female economic dependency.
