A Regular Terror

“I went into prison a rebel and I came out a regular terror,” said Halifax suffragette and activist, Laura Annie Willson. And what a terror she became. Born into poverty in a man’s world, she didn’t just smash the glass ceiling, she blasted it to smithereens.

From rags to riches; millworker to millionaire; prison to palace, she never forgot her roots or social conscience.

Come and be inspired by the inspirational story of this feisty local lass whose grit and determination knew no bounds.
