Fawcett Society

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fawcett Society is an organization in the United Kingdom which promotes feminism and campaigns for equality between men and women.

It is a charity registered with the Charity Commission. It grew out of the suffragette movement of the second half of the 19th century, and in 1953 was renamed the Fawcett Society, in honour of founder Millicent Fawcett.

The library and archives of the Society, formerly the Fawcett Library, are now part of the Women's Library at London Metropolitan University.
