Emily Langton Massingberd was campaigning for women's rights and suffrage long before the Suffragettes came to prominence. Born in 1847, she was one of the first women to stand for election, as a local councillor near her family's ancestral home of Gunby Hall in Lincolnshire. A vegetarian teetotaller, neither of which were common at the time, Emily went on to found London's Pioneer Club, one of the first members' clubs solely for women. Image: National Trust.
