How To Get Rid Of Martin Poptropica
Lydia Becker (1827-1890)
Born in Manchester. He studied botany. In 1866, after attending a conference pro-suffrage, became an activist and founded the Women's Suffrage Committee of Manchester. In 1870 he founded the Journal of Women's Suffrage.
Elected to the Board of Education, Manchester, fought to improve education for women, arguing that children should also learn to sew your socks and cook their own meals.
When he accepted the proposal raised in 1874 to promote the vote for single women only, was met with strong opposition from some married suffragists, such as Emmeline Pankhurst.
This does not prevent him from continuing as editor of the Journal of Women's Suffrage in the decade of the 1870 and 1880.
