Elspeth Douglas McClelland : ウィキペディア英語版 | Elspeth Douglas McClelland
Elspeth Douglas McClelland (1879–1920) was an English suffragette and architect. == Life ==
Elspeth was born on 20 May 1879 in Keighley, Yorkshire to John McClelland, an accountant, and Epsey McClelland (née Robinson). She was baptised in Ilkley on 19 July the same year. Elspeth trained as an architect, the only female student among 600 men at the Polytechnic Architectural School in London, and has been described as the first woman to practice as an architect, although this is unlikely to be quite accurate. Architectural drawings show that she was working as an architect by 1904. She became a suffragette in the 1900s, married William Albert Spencer in 1912 and moved to Whitchurch Lane, Edgware. Elspeth had three children before dying in childbirth in 1920. According to her family, she was given a silver tea service by the queen in recognition of her contribution to women's causes. This was sold by her husband after her death.
