Hear the call of courage …

“Courage calls to courage everywhere, 

and its voice cannot be denied.”

Millicent Fawcett


a little history about Millicent thanks to wikipedia:

Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett GBE (née Garrett; 11 June 1847 – 5 August 1929) was an English political activist and writer. She campaigned for women's suffrage by legal change and in 1897–1919 led Britain's largest women's rights association, the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS),[1] explaining, "I cannot say I became a suffragist. I always was one, from the time I was old enough to think at all about the principles of Representative Government."[2] She tried to broaden women's chances of higher education, as a governor of Bedford College, London (now Royal Holloway) and co-founding Newnham College, Cambridge in 1875.[3] In 2018, a century after the Representation of the People Act, she was the first woman honoured by a statue in Parliament Square.[4][5][6]
