Frances Boyd Dawson

Born Frances Elizabeth Milner at Fulwood, Lancashire, in 1871,[1] her father, a banker's clerk, died when she was ten years old.

She also became the secretary of the Reading Women's Suffrage Society, and delivered lectures for the National Committee for the Prevention of Destitution.

A long list of by-laws and suggestions were drawn up for those who wished to start a Household Orderly Corps in their own neighbourhood.

[8] Between 1920 and 1922, Dawson campaigned and debated on behalf of various women's organisations, advocating state purchase of the whole licensed drink trade.

At High Wycombe in the mid-1920s, she was appointed as a Justice of the Peace as a nominee of the Buckinghamshire Federation of Trades Councils and Labour Parties.
