Vivienne Goonewardena
Violet Vivienne ("Vivi") Goonewardena (18 September 1916 – 3 October 1996) was a Sri Lankan pioneer socialist and feminist. Her life and politics were shaped by the most interesting times of the Sri Lankan Left and she was in turn one of its more colourful personalities.
==Political beginnings==
Goonewardena was drawn into politics while still in school at Musaeus College through the Suriya-Mal Movement when in 1933 anti-imperialists and nationalists launched the sale of local Suriya (Portia tree) flowers as an alternative to poppies with the slogan "against slavery and poverty and for freedom and prosperity". As Head Girl she was to recruit her entire school to this cause. It was from this mass campaign that the Lanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP) was forged in 1935.
Goonewardena was exposed to the ideas and activities of the socialist movement initially through her maternal uncles, Philip and Robert Gunawardana, themselves leaders of the Left. With their support, she defied her father and was among that then small group of women to enter university – completing her studies against his best efforts to frustrate her.
