Davies, Emily (1830-1921)
Title
Davies, Emily (1830-1921)
Description
Emily Davies became friends with George Eliot through their mutual friend, Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon, with whom Davies established Girton College, Cambridge. Eliot contributed fifty pounds to their cause—a relatively small donation. Davies campaigned for women's education and suffrage, and with Eliot's encouragement, wrote about these causes. Through letters to Davies, Eliot’s cautious support of the women’s movement can be observed.
