About

Rachel Barrett (12 November 1874 – 26 August 1953) was a Welsh suffragette and newspaper editor born in Carmarthen. After attending the University College of Wales in Aberystwyth she became a science teacher, but in 1906 quit her job on hearing Nellie Martel speak of women's suffrage. She became a member of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and moved to London. In 1907 she became a WSPU organiser, and after Christabel Pankhurst fled to Paris, Barrett became joint organiser of the national WSPU campaign. In 1912, despite no journalistic background, she took charge of the new newspaper The Suffragette. Barrett was arrested on some occasions for activities linked to the suffrage movement, and in 1913–1914 she spent some time incognito to avoid re-arrest.
