Records of the Hitchin, Stevenage and District Women's Suffrage Society

The archive consists of minutes, attendance book, annual reports 1909-1919; Stevenage local committee minutes and reports

The Hitchin, Stevenage and District Women's Suffrage Society (1909-1918) was originally established as the North Herts Women's Suffrage Association in 1909 with Lord Lytton as its president and with Lady Constance Lytton and Lady Betty Balfour as members. By 1911 the organisation had expanded to such an extent that it was necessary to split it into two separate bodies: the Hitchin, Stevenage and District Women's Suffrage Society and the Letchworth and District Women's Suffrage Society. Both were affiliated to the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. This remained the situation until 1918 when the HSDWSS became a Women's Citizenship Association.

This collection is available for research. Readers are advised to contact The Women's Library in advance of their first visit.

Unknown: the archive was listed c.1989, so the records must have been deposited prior to that date.
