Sarah Carwin

[2] In 1890, returned to England, Carwin joined the Methodist Sisterhood of West London Mission, where Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence had also been a volunteer (although it is not known if they met there) [3] working with seasonal garment trade female workers.

[4] Within a year, Carwin had set up a workers cooperative in dressmaking to give such women an opportunity to have security and continuity of income outside the fashion season.

'[4] Carwin was arrested with Constance Lytton, Caprina Fahey, Rose Lamartine Yates, Daisy Solomon and over 20 others in 1909, in her case her prison citation was for breaking windows.

[4] Later Emmeline Pankhurst sent Carwin a specially designed gold and flint 'stone thrower's badge' noting ' This is in memory of the flinty message you sent through the Government windows on 29 June'.

[4] In 1911, Emily Davison wrote to 'dear comrade' Capper about her own arrest and expressed surprise and delight at her bail being set so high (£1000) that it 'is a grand advertisement for the Cause, isn't it?'.

It had seemed the most worthwhile'[4] Carwin left her property in Letchworth to a niece as a requirement in her will was that it should only pass to a female relative on her mother's side (in line with her feminist views).
