Mary Stewart Kilgour (24 September 1851 – 1955) was a suffragist, educationalist, writer and campaigner for women's rights.
Her family returned to Britain in 1854,[2] living in Worcester, London, Exmouth and the Isle of Man before settling in Cheltenham in around 1860.
Her older sister Agnes Archer Kilgour would become the first President of Leicester's Literary and Philosophical Society.
[5][6] She was also involved with the Browne sisters in the running of the Women's Local Government Society, succeeding Annie as honorary treasurer from 1892 to 1900, after which Mary Browne (who married scientist Sir Norman Lockyer in 1903)[7] retained the post until 1918.
[8] Active in Liberal Party circles, she helped found the Union of Practical Suffragists, co-authoring one of its pamphlets (c. 1899).
