Frances Mary "Fanny" Parker was a prominent New Zealand-born suffragette who became a leading figure in the militant wing of the Scottish women's suffrage movement during the early twentieth century. Born on December 24, 1875, she dedicated herself to the campaign for women's right to vote, becoming a key activist in Scotland. Parker's involvement in the suffrage movement was characterized by her participation in militant actions, which were central to the strategy of the movement's more radical factions. Her dedication to the cause of women's enfranchisement led to frequent clashes with the law, resulting in her being repeatedly imprisoned for her protest activities. She remained a committed advocate for equality until her death on January 19, 1924.
