Artist and women's activist Barbara Bodichon was the leader of the progressive Langham Place group and led women's rights campaigns to receive legal recognition. Her efforts contributed to the passing of the Married Women's Property Act of 1870, finally allowing married women to become the legal owners of any money they earned and to inherit property. This was extended to owning, buying and selling property with a second Act passed in 1882. In London she had many creative friends, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Mary Ann Evans ('George Eliot'). She played a major role in founding Girton College, Cambridge. Her paintings were frequently exhibited and admired. Ex libris sticker belonging to Kit Mouat, who was an English poet, author and secular humanist activist and editor.
