In-Person - Josephine Butler and the Radical Pursuit of Justice for Women - London
@LICC, St Peter's Vere Street, London
Millicent Fawcett, the leader of the British suffragist movement, described Josephine Butler as ‘the most distinguished English woman of the 19th Century’. Among the first feminist activists, Butler raised public awareness of the plight of destitute women, worked to address human trafficking, and led a vigorous campaign to secure equal rights for women before the law.
In her pursuit of justice, Butler did as much for women as William Wilberforce did for African slaves within the British Empire, and yet, while Wilberforce remains a household name, Butler is often forgotten.
Underpinning Butler’s public life of political activism lies the full corpus of her writing and the Christian spirituality that grounded her activism. At this evening talk, LICC CEO Paul Woolley and Dr Sarah Williams will explore Butler’s inner life of prayer, defined by a radical sense of justice that transformed Victorian society.
