1. Title: "Mrs Willett, the Visionary Suffragette: Winifred Coombe-Tennant's Unconventional Life" 2.. This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Winifred Margaret Serocold Coombe-Tennant, better known by her pseudonym, Mrs Willett. Born in 1874, Coombe-Tennant was a British suffragette, politician, philanthropist, patron of the arts, and an ardent spiritualist who engaged in automatic writing. Her multifaceted persona defied the societal norms of her time, making her an intriguing and influential figure in women's rights and spiritual circles. Dressed in a high-necked blouse and a delicate lace headscarf, Mrs Willett's piercing gaze and intense expression convey a sense of determination and inner strength. Her head slightly tilted, she seems to be lost in thought, perhaps pondering the next step in her activism or the latest spiritual revelation. As a suffragette, Mrs Willett was a dedicated advocate for women's rights, employing unconventional methods to further the cause. Her political career saw her elected as a Liberal Party councillor in 1919, making her one of the first women to hold such a position. Her philanthropic work extended beyond politics, as she became a patron of various charities and supported numerous artistic endeavors. Mrs Willett's spiritual beliefs, which included mediumship and automatic writing, set her apart from her contemporaries. She believed in the power of the paranormal to connect with the divine and used her abilities to channel messages from the otherworld. This photograph captures the essence of a remarkable woman who defied conventions and left an indelible mark on history.
