Clara Codd

Clara Margaret Codd (10 October 1876 – 3 April 1971) was a British writer, suffragette, socialist feminist,[1] and theosophist.

After her father's death the family moved to Geneva where Codd herself worked as a governess, a costume model and she travelled to play the violin and piano.

She was converted to Theosophy after hearing the first President of the Theosophical Society, Henry Steel Olcott, give a talk in Geneva.

[2] Aeta Lamb asked her to help organise a visit by Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney and the following year she was the elected secretary of the WSPU branch in Bath.

Nearly all the prominent British suffragettes visited the house and Codd would stay over and sleep with Annie Kenney.
