St Swithun's Women in History - Sybil Dennett

After leaving Swithuns in 1902, Dennett worked as a secretary at the Lyceum Club, a club for women in London who worked in literature, journalism, art, science and medicine. She left her job as a secretary to take up Suffrage work and marched in the Great Suffragette procession to the Albert Hall on 7th June in 1911, the largest women’s suffrage march ever held in Britain.
