Elsie Plant (1890–1982) was a suffragette, socialist and birth control activist.
Following her campaigning as a suffragette, she and her husband became key figures in Stockport's Labour Fellowship.
[4] Through her activism, she became friends with Marie Stopes, and arranged for her to lecture to an audience of over two thousand at the Armoury in Stockport.
Unfortunately, Elsie's attempt was unsuccessful due to opposition from the Roman Catholic Church.
However, her work was instrumental in the advocation and representation of birth control in Britain.
