Fawcett (1847-1929) campaigned tirelessly for women's rights, including access to higher education, and from 1897-1919 led the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, Britain's largest women's suffrage organization. She famously said, \"I cannot say I became a suffragist. I always was one, from the time I was old enough to think at all about the principles of Representative Government.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUncommon in commerce.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"[Women \/ Suffrage Movement].
