Edith Splatt (3 January 1873 – 3 June 1945) was a British dressmaker, journalist and later an Exeter councillor.
Splatt was born in 1873[1] when her family were living in a large farm near the Devon village of Kenton.
Splatt is thought to be the anonymous author who wrote an account of a suffrage protest the year before in Hyde Park.
[2][3] She is recorded in 1915 as having mounted a one-women campaign, two or three years previously, to enable women to purchase reduced-price workman’s tickets when travelling on Exeter trams.
She and fellow councillor Florence Browne served on committees concerning welfare and this has been criticised for allowing themselves to be "pigeon holed".
