Shena Dorothy Simon (21 October 1883 - 17 July 1972) was a politician and educational reformer in Manchester, England. ==Early years== Shena Dorothy Potter was born on 21 October 1883, daughter of John Wilson Potter and Jane Boyd Potter.〔 She had a privileged upbringing in a liberal, upper-middle-class family. Although she studied at Newnham College, Cambridge and then the London School of Economics, she was not granted a formal degree since the University of Cambridge did not grant full membership to women until 1946.〔 In 1911, Shena Potter became secretary of a committee for safeguarding women's rights under Lloyd George's insurance bill.〔 She was introduced to Ernest Darwin Simon by Sydney and Beatrice Webb, who thought she would make an ideal wife for him.〔 Ernest was the son of Henry Simon, a wealthy Victorian industrialist.〔 Shena married him in 1912, and they were to have two sons, Roger and Brian, and a daughter, Antonia.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shena Simon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
