Rosalind Frances Howard, Countess of Carlisle (20 February 1845 – 12 August 1921), sometimes known as The Radical Countess, was a British aristocrat and campaigner.
Rosalind Howard was the daughter of Edward Stanley, 2nd Baron Stanley of Alderley.
She married George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle, with whom she had six sons and five daughters.[1] They moved in the pre-Raphaelite artistic and Liberal political circles; Lord Carlisle was an active Liberal MP from 1879.[1] Their many friends included William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones.
Rosalind Howard was involved in several causes, including women's suffrage and the temperance movement in Britain. She served as a model for Lady Britomart in George Bernard Shaw's play Major Barbara.[2]
