The Fawcett Society is a membership charity in the United Kingdom which campaigns for women's rights. The organisation dates back to 1866, when Millicent Garrett Fawcett dedicated her life to the peaceful campaign for women's suffrage. From 1907, it was known as the London Society for Women's Suffrage but had several subsequent name changes. Between 1919 and 1926, it was known as the London Society for Women's Service, and from 1926-1953 as the London & National Society for Women's Service. In 1953, it was renamed the Fawcett Society.
