[5] And in 1905 Husband did win a place on the School Board too and promoted providing meals, books, and nursery education to poor children in the city.

This was at a well attended 1911 ratepayers' meeting in Perth, and a motion by Perth Lord Provost Macnab was carried, to follow Dundee's example, based on what he called Husband's 'most suggestive and sparkling address' and he called upon support from what he dubbed 'the weaker sex, namely the men' - for that city also to encourage more women candidates to their School Board, Town Council and Parish Council elections.

[10] In 1912, Husband attended the Seventh Annual Conference of the Women's Freedom League and is pictured greeting WFL President Mrs Despard.

[4] Despite a 'severe illness' in September 1913,[12] after appearing alongside Charlotte Despard at an open air event in Hyde Park, London on 24 August 1913,[13] Husband continued her activism.

[16] Also in 1914, Husband was elected to the Dundee School Board, although fellow suffragist Mary H. J. Henderson was not successful, as the electorate for the organisation, included some plural voting arrangements (known as 'plumpers').

[18] Husband's Burgess ticket was on display in the City Archives for the centenary of women's suffrage,[19] and it says it was "in recognition of the valuable services rendered by her to the Community as a Member of the Parish Council and the Education Authority and in many other ways over a long period of years".

[18] The organisation's chief executive, David Wallace also said: "Miss Husband dedicated so much of her life to helping the poor and oppressed, especially children...and her legacy lives on..those who work here will be proud to follow in her footsteps.
