Harriette Beanland

Harriette Mary Beanland (5 November 1866 – 2 March 1922) was a British textile worker and suffragette who was secretary to the Women's Labour League branch in Nelson in Lancashire.

Harriett Mary Beanland worked as a textile worker in Lancashire when she moved back to England to live closer to Bolton’s family.

[citation needed] She became secretary of the branch of the Women's Labour League in Nelson in 1900 until its dissolution a year later.

[4] From 1914 and the start of the First World War, some suffragettes of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) left the movement in disagreement with the support shown for the fighting.

The women of all these countries have not been consulted as to whether they would have war or not… If they (men) deliberately shut out women, the peace loving sex, from their rightful share in ruling their countries and Churches, then all the appeals and sentiments and prayers will be of no avail in preventing hostilities.
