Alice Anne Burbury ([1844-1911]) was born in Yorkshire, the eldest daughter of Thomas Edward Taylor, and became the wife of Samuel Hawksley Burbury, the mathematician and lawyer, on 12 Apr 1860. The couple had four sons and two daughters before Alice Anne Burbury seems to have become interested in women's suffrage. Her name first appears on the annual subscription lists of the Central Committee of the National Society for Women's Suffrage in 1898, where it remained until 1902. However, her interest in the issue predated this membership as this series of letters was written by her to leaders of the movements for women's education and women's enfranchisement between 1872 and c.1893. At some point in her career, she evidently stood for election to a School Board and a committee was formed to support her, but she appears not to have succeeded in her efforts on this occasion. She survived her husband who died in Aug 1911.

Unknown provenance [early accession registers to be checked].

The archive consists of correspondence (1872-c.1893) comprising 16 letters.

Most of the letters have no year given in the date.

The letter from Mrs Fawcett dated 1 Feb is written from Cambridge, but obviously after she and her husband moved to London, since she says she wishes to speak at meetings only in suburban places from where she can easily return home in the evening.

Other correspondents include Maria G Grey; Frances Buss; and Mentia Taylor (Mrs Peter Taylor).

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