Fun Fact
Ethel Smyth (1858-1944) took two years off from composing music to devote her time to the women’s suffrage movement in England. She wrote her The March of Women as a battle-cry to bring awareness to the cause. She was highly active in the movement and was even arrested and imprisoned for two months.
