            <text>Phillis, or Mrs Aubrey Dowson, attended a number of Warwickshire combined suffrage society meetings and on occasion was joined by her husband. The NUWSS to which she belonged, was the largest women's suffrage society in the country and believed in attaining the vote for women by peaceable and constitutional methods. Phillis became secretary of the societies Midland Federation and was related through her husband to Catherine Osler, president of the Birmingham Women's Suffrage Society. &#13;
&#13;
Phillis was also responsible for editing one of the NUWSS's more unusual fund-raising projects - the 'Women's Suffrage Cookery Book' - which gathered recipes from suffragists across the country.
