There was a German Club on Market Street and a Club Germania on St Ann’s Well Road. Dulcie was involved in NUWSS, but also appears to have set up the local Friends League for Women’s Suffrage. Her husband Wilfred Stewart Rothera became the City Coroner and was also a supporter of women’s enfranchisement setting up a Men’s Association for Promoting Women’s Suffrage in Nottingham. Dulcie was a VAD nurse in WW1 and in 1939 was Commandant of Notts 202 Red Cross. She was also involved with the YMCA and the YWCA (Young Women’s Christian Association). Dulcie was also on the London Executive of the National Council of Women. Her obituary in the press stated that she had been an ardent feminist.
