Autograph request
Postcard sent by Bray to Flora Drummond on 23rd April1914 asking for her autograph.
Flora Drummond (1878 - 1949) (nee Gibson) was born in Manchester on 4 August 1878. A few years later her family returned to the Isle of Arran. She studied at a civil service school in Glasgow and was awarded the Society of Arts certificate. After her marriage she moved back to Manchester where she was the manager of the Oliver Typewriter Company.
She joined the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and from 1906 was based in London playing a central role in the campaign for women's suffrage. Nicknamed 'General', she was the main organiser of the 'Women's Sunday' processions in 1908 and remained politically active after the First World War. A statue of Millicent Fawcett was unveiled in Parliament Square in 2018 to mark the centenary of women winning the right to vote. Flora Drummond's name and image are included on the statue's plinth.
