Gertrude Harding
Gertrude Menzies Harding (1889-1977) was a suffragette born on a farm in rural Canada. She happened to arrive in London, England, in 1912 at the height of the militant suffragette movement, which she quickly joined, one of only a handful of Canadians to do so. Gert Harding remained as one of the highest-ranking and longest-lasting members of this organization, the Women's Social and Political Union. British women were granted a partial vote in 1918.
== Early years ==
Gert Harding was born the last of seven children on a farm in Welsford, New Brunswick, Canada. Her sketches of the time show her escaping housework to hunt, fish and camp alone in the woods, with a pet raccoon as companion. When Gert was 18 years old, a doctor pronounced that she had a heart murmur, considered a serious condition at the time. She was pleased to be invited to travel to Hawaii as companion to her older sister Nellie Waterhouse and family. Eventually she was asked to teach sewing classes to local women and to care for a boy crippled by polio, and this sparked an interest in working with the poor.
