British politician For the 18th-century British murder victim , see Elizabeth Brownrigg . Mary Clifford in 1899 Mary Clifford ( 1842 - 19 January 1919 ) was a British politician , known as a pioneer of women serving on Boards of Guardians . Life Born in Bristol , Clifford was the first born child of six children of Emily , ( born Hassell ) and the Reverend J. B . Clifford , vicar of St Matthew ’s , Kingsdown . Her mother died while Mary was still young , and as the eldest child , she took on much of the responsibility for raising her younger siblings . They included Edward , later to become a noted artist , and Alfred , who served as Bishop of Lucknow . Later , she began voluntary social work in Cotham . When her friend Catherine Winkworth began the Clifton Association for the Higher Education of Women she attended the lectures . Essays she prepared on the content were well received by John Addington Symonds and Mandell Creighton . The 1875 election of Martha Merington to a Board of Guardians had proven that women were eligible to serve on these bodies . Clifford and two other women stood for the Barton Regis Board of Guardians in 1882 , and all three were elected . Clifford soon became the most prominent woman serving on a Board of Guardians , and developed a widely-adopted scheme for the fostering of orphans . She also believed that many orphans would be better off if they were moved to Canada , and developed an emigration scheme with Mark Whitwill . She championed reductions in the power of abusive parents over their children , which were passed into law in 1889 . Due to Clifford 's prominence , she was co-opted to the Central Committee of Poor Law Conferences , serving on it for twelve years . In 1898 , the Barton Regis Board was absorbed into the Bristol Board of Guardians , and Clifford continued to win election to the larger body . Memorial plaque to Mary Clifford in Bristol Cathedral . Clifford was a founder member of the National Union of Women Workers ( NUWW ) , and served as its president from 1903 to 1905 . She was highly religious , and expressed concern that the organisation worked with bodies in other countries which did not share her religious views , but was satisfied that most leaders of the NUWW were Anglicans . She frequently attended and spoke at the Church Congress , and her 1899 speech on missionary work overseas was widely reported . Clifford was known for wearing a hooded bonnet and a long cloak , considered old-fashioned at the time , and this created a myth that she was a Quaker . Clifford retired from the Bristol Board of Guardians in 1907 , due to poor health , but she lived a further twelve years . |
