Lydia Becker
Lydia Ernestine Becker (24 February 1827 – 18 July 1890) was a leader in the early Britishsuffrage movement, as well as an amateur scientist with interests in biology and astronomy. She established Manchester as a centre for the suffrage movement and with Richard Pankhurst she arranged for the first woman to vote in a British election and a court case was unsuccessfully brought to exploit the precedent. Becker is also remembered for founding and publishing the ''Women's Suffrage Journal'' between 1870 and 1890.
