About Edith Murdoch Davidson

Edith Murdoch Davidson, Lady Davidson of Lambeth was a British clergy wife and moral welfare organiser. Her duties as the wife of a senior clergyman in the Church of England included dealing with his diary, handling correspondence and as acting as a hostess. In addition to this, she developed a special interest in helping so-called "fallen women", namely sex workers and single mothers. She organised and raised funds for rescue workers, associations and houses to help these women, while also campaigning to change Victorian attitudes and establish a single standard of sexual morality that applied to men and women equally. She chaired the Archbishops' Advisory Board for Spiritual and Moral Welfare Work from its establishment in 1917 until she retired in 1929. After her death, it was summarised that her "influence was wide but unobtrusive".
