Anne Knight

"By tortured millions, By the divine redeemer, Enfranchise Humanity, Bid the Outraged World, BE FREE" Anne Knight (2 November 1786 – 4 November 1862) was an English social reformer, abolitionist and pioneer of feminism. She attended the 1840 Anti-Slavery convention, where the need to improve women's rights became obvious. In 1847 Knight produced what is thought to be the first leaflet for women's suffrage and formed the first UK women's suffrage organisation in Sheffield in 1851. Provided by Wikipedia
