Lady Constance Bulwer-Lytton (d. 1923) was an activist suffragette, writer and campaigner for prison reform. Imprisoned more than once for her protest activities, she refused special privileges derived from her family’s status (her father had been Viceroy of India). She joined the Women’s Social and Political Union – the most militant of suffragette groups – and campaigned for Votes for Women. She as also an early vegetarian and advocated for animal rights. Her court diaries come from a period of her life before she was converted to the suffragette cause.
