Early lifeAnna Maria Priestman was born on 23 March 1828, the seventh of nine children of Jonathan Priestman (d. 1863), a wealthy Quaker tanner from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Rachel Bragg (1791–1854), a travelling minister in the Society of Friends, and the daughter of Margaret Wilson Bragg, also a Quaker minister.[1] They lived in the Summerhill district of Newcastle.[1] CareerPriestman , along with members of hers and the Bright family, were important in the creation of some of the first women's suffrage societies, founded in London, Bristol, and Bath.[1] She was also a supporter of the Ladies' National Association for the Repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts, which was formed in 1870 by Josephine Butler to protest against legislation which undermined the civil rights of those who had been designated prostitutes by the authorities in specified naval and military towns.[1] Her sister Mary Priestman was the secretary of this organization and her sister Margaret Tanner was its treasurer.[1] All three sisters supported international campaigns against the government regulation of prostitution, and continued their family's close association with the temperance movement.[1] LegacyPriestman's photographs, papers related to her speeches, diaries, and her correspondence including letters to Margaret Clark Gillett, Alice Clark, Helen Priestman Bright, Priscilla Bright McLaren and Margaret Tanner, covering the period from 1837 to 1913 are held by the National Archives.[2] Personal lifePriestman chose to remain single, and discussed her views on marriage in correspondence with her cousin and lifelong friend Jane Pease, who also never married.[3] Later lifePriestman died at their Bristol home, 37 Durdham Park, which she shared with her sister Mary Priestman, on 9 October 1914, five days after her sister died.[1] "The outbreak of the First World War was said to have been too much for either herself or Mary Priestman to bear."[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web|url=http://oxforddnb.com/view/article/57830|title=Anna Priestman|author=|date=|website=oxforddnb.com|accessdate=18 November 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Priestman, Anna}}{{UK-activist-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/c/F233918|title=The Discovery Service|first=The National|last=Archives|date=|website=discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk|accessdate=18 November 2017}} 3. ^{{cite book|author=Sandra Stanley Holton|title=Quaker Women: Personal Life, Memory and Radicalism in the Lives of Women Friends, 1780–1930|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r7I-Ul0Cv54C&pg=PA110|accessdate=18 November 2017|date=12 November 2012|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-135-14117-2|page=110}} 6 : 1828 births|1914 deaths|British women's rights activists|British women activists|People from Newcastle upon Tyne|British Quakers |
