Margaret Thorp

Born on 12 June 1892, Margaret Sturge Thorp was a quaker, feminist and pacifist who campaigned against war during WW1 at great cost to herself. She was harassed by the police and government officials and assaulted and abused at rallies by soldiers and others, including one notable incident at the Brisbane School of Arts in Ann Street in July 1917.
