Nellie Hall (about 1893[1] – 26 July 1976), later known as Nell Hall-Humpherson, was a British suffragette, arrested and imprisoned several times for her activities with the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU).
Nellie Hall was early exposed to political and cultural discussions in a home that hosted visitors such as Emmeline Pankhurst and George Bernard Shaw.
[2] Hall worked for the WSPU in Birmingham from 1911 to 1913 until she was arrested for throwing a brick through the window of Prime Minister H. H. Asquith's car on 21 July 1913.
[9] Nellie moved back to Birmingham during the First World War, where she joined the Post Office and became the first mail sorter for the British Expeditionary Force.
[1] In 1962, she appeared as the mystery guest on the Canadian television programme Front Page Challenge, and in 1965 she gave several newspaper interviews about her suffrage years.
