Margaret Llewelyn Davies, a prominent social reformer and leader in the British co-operative movement, is being honored with a plaque outside her former home. Her great-niece and supporters believe her vital contributions to women's rights and universal suffrage have been overlooked in history. The commemoration, organized by The Heath and Hampstead Society and the Virginia Woolf Society, comes after a five-year effort to gain recognition for Davies, who was known to live with her partner Lilian Harris at Well Walk. Leonard Woolf remarked that her contributions would be more recognized if she were a man.
Margaret Llewelyn Davies was a pioneering social reformer and leader of the Women's Co-operative Guild, advocating women's rights and suffrage during her impactful life.
It's been a long five year process to get the plaque... A lot of the things that she achieved were while living in Well Walk with her partner Lilian Harris.
