Happy !

๐ŸŽ‰ Today we're celebrating the lives and legacies of the women of Nottingham Castle - highlighting Muriel Wallis, our very own Suffragette!

Muriel Wallis (1882-1929) was the eldest daughter of George Henry Wallis - Nottingham Castle Museum's first curator - and Katherine Watson Carey. The family lived in rooms at the Castle from 1880 until 1918. Throughout her life, Muriel was involved in women's suffrage work. She was active in the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies and the Women's Social and Political Union from around 1907.

She took part in several London processions and was arrested for "wilfully obstructing the police in the ex*****on of their duty" on 'Black Friday', 1910. She also took part in the 1911 census boycott, organised as a protest against the disenfranchisement of women in society.
