Janie Allan
Jane "Janie" Allan (28 March 1868 – 29 April 1968)〔Ewan ''et al.'' (2006), p. 11〕 was a leading Scottish activist in the militant suffragette movement of the early 20th century. ==Early life and family== Janie Allan was born into the wealthy Glasgow family that owned the Allan Line shipping company.〔Simkin (1997)〕 Her grandfather, Alexander Allan, founded the firm in 1819, and by the time that her father – the youngest of Alexander Allan's five sons, also named Alexander – took over the running of the company's Glasgow operations, the line had many vessels, additional offices in Liverpool and Montreal, and had wrested the Royal Mail's North American contract away from the Cunard line. In common with many of her family, Allan held socialist political views. She was an early member of the Independent Labour Party (ILP), and she edited a column covering women's suffrage issues for the socialist newspaper ''Forward''.〔
