"Courage calls to courage everywhere, and its voice cannot be denied."
Millicent Fawcett (1847-1929) was an English political leader, activist, writer and feminist icon who led the movement for woman suffrage in England for 50 years. She also was a founder of Newnham College, Cambridge (established in 1871) - one of the first English university colleges for women.
In February 2018, Fawcett was announced as the winner of the BBC Radio 4 poll for the most influential woman of the past 100 year. That same year, 100 years after the passing of the Representation of the People Act, for which she had successfully campaigned, Fawcett became the first women to be commemorated with a statue in Parliament Square.

Design, Research & Community Lead, Laidlaw Foundation
Hello! I am a multidisciplinary designer and have been with the Laidlaw Foundation for over five years, working to strengthen our global Scholar community and amplify the impact of our programmes.
My work lives somewhere between design, education, and anthropology, usually with sticky notes involved. I studied Human Sciences as an undergrad and recently finished a Master’s in Anthropology, both at UCL.
I am your go-to person for questions regarding alumni engagement and the Laidlaw Scholars Advisory Board.
Born and raised in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 Outside of work? Probably in the ceramics studio or a yoga class. Big fan of nature and very small bugs.
