Miriam Pratt (26 January 1893 – 24 June 1975) was a British suffragette and arsonist based in Norfolk who is known for setting fire to buildings in Cambridge.

[5] She was released under the terms of the Cat and Mouse Act as the doctor was concerned about her heart from the force feeding, with the medical recommendation of three months' rest.

She was labelled number 18 on a sheet that also included Jennie Baines, Lillian Forrester, Clara Elizabeth Giveen, Miss Johansen, Lilian Lenton, Kitty Marion (Katherina Maria Schafer) and Mary Raleigh Richardson.

[7] Pratt left the WSPU when the organisation stopped its campaigning for suffrage and its leadership pivoted into support for the First World War.

He had been a member of the Men's League For Women's Suffrage and joined the Royal Engineers early in WWI, reaching the rank of Lieutenant.

[4] In 1936, William Ward (the uncle in the court case), died and left his niece, now called Miriam Francis, a half share of his property.
