Campaign groups are pushing for change in many areas of modern life, from environmental issues and ethical consumerism to human and animal rights. It’s easy to forget, though, the huge amount of social change that has happened in the UK in the last 200 years. Changes in education, health and housing have helped to shape society as we know it. The roles and rights of women in particular have changed dramatically. Let’s look at some of those who helped to make a difference.

How the past influences the present

Encouraging better health and education

In 1903, Emmeline Pankhurst founded a campaign group whose members were the first to be called ‘suffragettes’. They, with many others, fought hard to win the right for women to vote. The fight for women’s rights had started more than 100 years earlier, when Mary Wollstonecraft published a ground-breaking book called A Vindication of the Rights of Women in 1792. In it, she pushed for men and women to be educated equally. She argued that, as well as improving life for women, this would improve society as a whole.

A century of women’s achievements

In the early 19 th century, Elizabeth Fry fought to improve the lives of women. In 1811, when she visited Newgate Prison, in London, she was shocked by the conditions, particularly for the women and their children, who had to stay in prison with their mothers. Elizabeth started a school for these children, and brought food and clothes for them. She campaigned tirelessly for prisoners to be treated fairly. In addition, she opened a training school for nurses at Guy’s Hospital in London. Her work inspired Florence Nightingale, who took a team of nurses to treat wounded soldiers in the Crimean War.
