When Hannah Whitall Smith died in 1911, the Common Cause honoured ‘an evangelical speaker of passion and repute, an ardent Suffragist and a leader of the British Women’s Temperance Association’. After separating from Bertrand Russell in 1911, Alys took up residence at Ford Place, Arundel, West Sussex. In June 1912, she joined (see) Lady Maud Parry on the platform at a NUWSS meeting in Arundel Town Hall addressed by Sir Harry Johnston and Cicely Corbett. In January 1913 she presided at a Littlehampton Women’s Suffrage Society meeting. In May 1913, as a newly elected Vice-President of the Worthing Women’s Franchise Society, she chaired a lantern lecture about women factory workers, speaking about her own brief experience as a factory worker in 1903. On Saturday 19 July 1913, Alys and Lady Maud Parry led Littlehampton ‘Pilgrims’ to walk to Angmering before catching the train to Brighton. On Monday 21 July they headed the Brighton Road contingent of the Great Suffragist Pilgrimage as it set off for London. Alys addressed meetings on the way at Burgess Hill, Crawley, and Lowfield Heath. In October, opening the new premises of the Worthing Women’s Franchise Society, she urged members to follow up the impression made by the Pilgrimage in country districts by carrying the message out to villages during the winter. During that autumn, Alys talked to the Brighton and Hove Women’s Franchise Society and to the Worthing Women’s Franchise Society about schools for mothers such as she had established at St Pancras in 1907 as chair of the St Pancras Mothers and Infants Society. She addressed the Petersfield Women’s Suffrage Society on ‘Temperance, Women and the Vote’, and held an impromptu outdoor meeting in Chichester, having been crowded out of a debate in the Corn Exchange between Lady Selborne and Gladys Pott of the National League for Opposing Women’s Suffrage. By the end of 1913 speaking engagements were taking Alys all over the Southeast. Following the passing of the White Slave Traffic Act in December, she arranged for Mrs Bonwick, of the Liberal Women’s Suffrage Union, to address Littlehampton’s Women’s Temperance Association and the Littlehampton Women’s Suffrage Society in January 1914. She spoke herself in Littlehampton’s Congregational Church on women’s place in the community and presided over a Littlehampton Women’s Suffrage Society public meeting addressed by Israel Zangwill and Sir Harry Johnston. In the spring of 1914, with writer Rosalind Travers, of Tortington House, Arundel, Alys held weekly social gatherings for the ‘laundry girls’ of Littlehampton. In July she hosted a garden meeting at Ford Place to promote the NUWSS ‘Coast Campaign’ but in August was organising local war relief work. She had to leave Ford Place soon after this as the Ford Estate was put up for sale. Two of her last public engagements in the area were, appropriately, to talk in October 1914 to both the Horsham Temperance Association and Horsham Suffrage Society on ‘The War and Infant Welfare’. Until early 1916 Alys talked across the country on this subject. In June 1915 she was elected to the NUWSS Executive Committee and in early 1916 undertook a two-month fund-raising lecture tour of the United States and Canada to publicise NUWSS refugee aid and suffragist patriotic effort in general. She was back in time for the Patriotic Housekeeping Exhibition staged by the Brighton and Hove Women’s Franchise Society, where, in the Infant Welfare Room, she spoke on the need for more Health Centres and Health Visitors. As secretary of the Millicent Garrett Fawcett Hospitals for Refugees in Russia, Alys continued to drum up support for these. She organised jumble sales in Southampton, her new summer home, and in Chelsea where she lived at 11 St Leonard’s Terrace. As President now of the Portsmouth Women’s Suffrage Society, she returned in January 1917 to speak to the Worthing Women’s Franchise Society, whose former secretary, Mrs Elborough, was now administrator of the NUWSS hospitals in Russia. Alys became treasurer of the NUWSS in 1918, and with her niece Ray Strachey, and Millicent Garrett Fawcett and Margaret Jones, sent a letter to the June 1918 Imperial War Conference, urging the adoption throughout the British Empire of the principle of women’s suffrage.

Her mother, Rachel Bragg, was a prominent anti-slavery agitator. Alongside her sister, Mary, she signed the 1866 suffrage petition. Anna Maria and Mary moved to Bristol in 1870, living at 37 Durdham Park for the rest of their lives. In 1870, Anna Maria joined the committee of the Bristol and West of England Society for Women’s Suffrage, of which she was still a member in 1908. In 1870, alongside her sister, Anna Maria refused to pay tax, leading to their dining chairs being removed in place of the taxation payment. They were returned after their fine was anonymously paid. In 1881, alongside Emily Sturge, Anna Maria formed the first women's liberal association that would only support candidates who agreed with women’s enfranchisement. Anna Maria favoured the mobilisation of the middle and lower classes, leading to her raising £1000 for the Bristol and West England branch of the national suffrage to support organising activities and work. After the 1884 women’s suffrage movement amendment failed, Anna Maria focused on the women’s liberal association and supporting enfranchisement. After the split in the central committee for women’s suffrage in 1888, she remained with the central national society and became a member of their executive committee. Anna Maria formed the union of practical suffragists in 1896 after a defeat in maintaining the WLF's support for candidates who did support women’s enfranchisement. She wrote a pamphlet entitled ‘Women and Votes’, published by the union in 1896. This seemed a success in 1903 when the WLF agreed to only support candidates that also supported enfranchisement, but in 1905, she was removed as president of the Bristol and West England women’s liberal association. After this, Anna Maria and Mary joined WSPU in 1907, donating £25 in 1908 and continuing to contribute in 1909. Anna Maria and her sister contributed to the election expenses of George Lansbury, a suffrage candidate supported by Christabel Pankhurst. Anna Maria complied with the 1911 census, by this time she was apart of the NUWSS. As a pacifist, Anna Maria, with her sister Mary, attended the peace conference in Berne in 1892, an international forum concerning issues of international conflict. Anna Maria died within 5 days of her sister Mary in 1914, it has been inferred that neither could handle the prospect of the looming Great War.

She gained a Bachelor of Arts degree and by 1901 was living and working in England as a secondary school teacher at the Bermondsey Settlement in Farncombe Street. The Settlement provided social, health, educational opportunities and welfare for the local poor and some housing provision. In 1904, Anna put herself up for election to the local Rotherhithe Board of Guardians and along with Miss Frank (see Maria White Frank) attempted to register on the municipal voter list in Rotherhithe via her occupation of property rented in connection to the Bermondsey Settlement. Her claim was opposed in court by the local Conservative candidate but was none the less granted. Anna’s fight for women’s place at the ballot box had truly begun. As a leading member of the Bermondsey and Rotherhithe Women’s Liberal Association (she was for a time its President) Anna presided over a meeting at the local town hall in November 1908 and gave a speech on the importance of women’s suffrage stating unequivocally that ‘the sooner the question was settled the better it would be for the country, for the women, and she added significantly for the Liberal government’. She would eventually resign from the Association in 1913 over the Liberal government’s recalcitrance on votes for women along with several other members such as treasurer and friend Lucy Knowles who had served as secretary at the Settlement. The women declared that the last three years had proved that ‘as long as Mr Asquith led the Liberal Party, it was hopeless for women to look to it for their enfranchisement’. In 1911, Anna participated in the boycott of the government census survey organised by suffrage society’s like the Women’s Freedom League (WFL) and the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in direct protest at women’s exclusion from the vote. Then living at 63 Union Road, Rotherhithe, and still working at the Bermondsey Settlement as a social worker, Anna wrote on her census form ‘Return refused as a protest against non-representative government. No vote; no census’. She was joined in the protest by fellow residents at Union Road and fellow Settlement workers, Miss Frank and Miss Britten. This type of civil disobedience seemed to appeal to Anna. In July 1913, she had some of her goods sold in lieu of her taxes which she refused to pay until women got the vote. A report on the sale notes that mothers from the Bermondsey Settlement turned out in significant numbers, some with babies in arms, despite the inclement weather to show their support. Anna was represented at the sale by a member of the Women’s Tax Resistance League a suffrage organisation closely aligned to the WFL which in turn was supported by many of Anna’s friends including (see) Ada Salter and was led by another, Charlotte Despard. So, to which suffrage society did Anna belong? This is difficult to determine. At the beginning of the campaign, Anna likely allied herself with the NUWSS, popular among Liberal Party women. She maintained a longstanding relationship with the society through educational lecture tours and was published in its newspaper the Common Cause (see below). Yet, her friendship circle and turn to civil disobedience from 1911 suggests a move towards the WFL. Therefore - circumspectly – Anna currently appears on our 1911 map as a WFL supporter. Formally, she may not have belonged to any suffrage society at that time. However, by 1914, she had become a Vice President of the Free Church League for Women's Suffrage formed in 1910, and later joined the United Suffragists which accepted militants and non-militants alike. Like many campaigners, the picture of Anna’s suffrage campaigning is complex. What is certain, is that Anna was motivated throughout the campaign by her desire to alleviate poverty, particularly for married working women and their children, believing Votes for Women was integral. She wrote several articles and gave numerous speeches entwining the two causes. For example, in 1911 in suffrage newspaper the Common Cause, she published a critique of the Liberal’s government’s Maternity provision within the newly proposed Insurance Bill. This gave control of maternity payments not directly to mothers to use as they saw fit, but to Doctors and Boards of Health instead. In 1913, she gave a speech on the poverty and plight of married working-class women and the importance of the vote to effect change at a drawing room meeting in Rotherhithe; to the Progressive Women’s Suffrage Association in Cambridge; and in a speech entitled ‘Politics and Working Women’ to the Rotherhithe Women’s Political Association which she helped found to educate local women. That same year she also wrote ‘Mothers in Mean Streets’ in which she lambastes the inadequacies of the laws alleged to protect married women. She argues that the ‘semi-slave status’ of the wife under the law is the main cause of poverty and that the political enfranchisement of women would be the first step towards raising women’s status. Anna also forged the connection between improving working-class women’s lot and votes for women in 1914 via a lecture entitled ‘The Mother and her Difficulties: How the Law Treats Her’ given to the Central Sussex Women’s Suffrage Society under the auspice of educational lectures promoted by the NUWSS. In 1922, Anna was still championing working class women’s rights. She published an article in the Women’s Leader newspaper that year which centred on the work of the Rotherhithe Women’s Guild to which she was integral. The Guild continually pressed the concerns of working women on local policy makers and Anna was in no doubt that the Guild ‘owes its origin to the fight for the vote’. Anna died in 1937.

She remained in Hereford for the rest of her life. One of four sisters - who apparently all played some part in the suffrage campaign - Beatrice was the leading light. She campaigned for women's suffrage locally, was an accomplished public speaker, and hand wrote all her speeches which are held in the Herefordshire Archives. She corresponded with well known figures of the movement such as the WSPU leader Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst and Gladice Keevil to help coordinate their visits to Hereford. Beatrice was living with her family in 1911 and was included on the 1911 census form. However, this does not mean she necessarily wanted to comply given she was a WSPU member. The census form was completed and signed by her father who may have taken matters into his own hands. Source: Parlby Papers Collection, BH28, Herefordshire Archives & Records Centre.

All interested are invited to write to Mrs Coultate as above. Hon. Sec. Mrs Coultate, 68 Nunthorpe Road.’ A year later when the 1911 census enumerator called at 33 Melbourne Street in Fishergate, York, he discovered that then resident Annie Coultate had signed the census form, but she had not made an entry for herself and described her son Henry as the head of the household. The enumerator scratched out ‘Head’ and wrote ‘Son’ and added a terse note diagonally across the form saying: ‘The signature is that of a well-known suffragette. She was away from her home during the night of the census but was most probably enumerated amongst a number of suffragettes who passed the night in a room in Coney Street, York, with the object of evading the census’. Annie was secretary of York WSPU and had spent census night in a room adjacent to their offices in Coney Street, where an enumerator counted the 18 women and 3 men as they left the building. After the event, Votes for Women reported that ‘a large upper room was furnished with comfortable chairs and the evaders settled themselves in for the night…The most thrilling moments were when policemen ascended the stairs and the room ‘lay low’… Supper was served and amid much merriment and a most enjoyable night was spent.’ As secretary, she was at the centre of the campaign and Votes for Women records her regularly selling large numbers of the newspaper from door to door and on the street in York. She also organised events and social gatherings and occasionally spoke at public meetings in York and other towns. There were few examples of militant action in York, but Annie actively supported those who took part in the campaign. When Lilian Lenton was released under the Cat and Mouse Act, she escaped from house arrest in York by acting as a nanny and pushing Annie’s daughter Florence’s baby, Stephen, in a pram. Annie was born Annie de Lacy in 1856, the daughter of Henry, a wholesale druggist traveller. She became a pupil-teacher at the age of 15 and was 55 years old when she set up the York WSPU. By then she was a highly respected senior teacher at Fishergate Elementary School, where her work for women’s suffrage was admired by the headmaster, George Barker. She was one of very few women included in a municipal poster of photographs of key figures working for York Corporation in 1910, the only known photograph of her. Annie married Frank Coultate in 1881. He was also a schoolteacher, but he died aged 41 and Annie brought up Henry and Florence on her own. Florence followed Annie into teaching and married William Mountain Holmes, headteacher of Poppleton Road School in York, and both were involved in the suffrage movement. Henry was a grocer’s assistant and also worked for the cause. Annie died in 1931 at her daughter’s house in Acomb, York, aged 75.

In 1911, we find her living in Nicholls Street with her husband John a draughstman engineer in a local armament works. Clearly, Annie maintained a life long passion for politics and she gains prominence in Coventry affairs in the 1920s and 1930s. She became involved with the War Pensions Committee and was the appointed representative of the Coventry Railway Women's Guild. In 1929, she wrote an article in the The Daily Herald rebuking criticism of married women working for 'pin money' thus undercutting men's wages stating that 'until the mother is provided by the state with sufficient to give her children proper conditions of life, no-one has a right to interfere with what she shall do'. In 1934, Annie stood for the Labour Party in a Coventry by- election that took place when a seat became vacant in the Hillfield's ward. She won by a considerable margin and became Councillor for Hillfields for several years. Annie was also a member of the Women's Cooperative Guild who she staunchly defended in the local press in 1938 when they were criticised for the wearing and selling of the white poppies of pacifism. She died aged 76 in 1950. Researcher: Tara Morton. Coventry research funded by Warwick University.
