          English socialist, feminist and suffragette

          Edith 'Biddy' Lanchester (28 July 1871 – 26 March 1966) was an English socialist, feminist and suffragette.

          She became well known in 1895 when her family had her incarcerated in an asylum for planning to live with her lover, who was an Irish, working-class labourer. Lanchester later became secretary to Eleanor Marx.

          Early life

          Lanchester was born in Hove, Sussex on 28 July 1871, the fifth child of a family of eight.[1] Her parents were Henry Jones Lanchester, an established architect,[2] (1834–1914) and Octavia Ward (1834–1916).[3] Following in their father's footsteps of bourgeois success, three of Edith's brothers became successful in the fields of architecture and engineering.

          Work

          After attending the Birkbeck Institution and the Maria Grey training college, Edith first worked as a teacher and then a clerk-secretary working for a firm in the City of London.[1] By 1
