Census This person's response to the 1911 UK Census Resists Biographical Text Miss Bowers was likely a social worker at the Bermondsey Settlement in 1911. She 'resisted' the government's census survey that year as part of a boycott organised by suffrage societies prepared to break the law like the Women's Freedom League (WFL) and the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in protest at women's exclusion from the parliamentary vote. It's likely Miss Bowers colluded in the census protest with fellow Settlement workers living nearby at 63 Union Road, as their defiant messages and hers 'Not filled in as protest against a non representative Government' are uncannily similar (see census image). She is currently ascribed circumspectly on our map to the WFL along with her fellow 'conspirators'. Do you know anything about Miss Bowers? Could you find more? If so please contact us.
