Annie Barnes [née Cappuccio] (Maybe 1887 – 1982) was a British socialist and suffragist.

Life

Barnes was born in Stepney in about 1887.[1]

Sylvia Pankhurst persuaded her to join the East London Federation of Suffragettes. She was later shocked by Pankhurst's disregard for matrimony. Pankhurst was a communist, but Barnes joined a Socialist group.[1]

She was an enthusiastic supporter of women's suffrage but she avoided getting involved in any protest that might lead to a custodial sentence.[1] Barnes enjoyed the many suffrage meetings and she found it difficult to refuse Pankhurst's leadership. She did refuse to be smuggled into the Houses of Parliament to drop flour on the prime ministers head, but she later dropped leaflets from London Bridge. She was stopped by the police but managed to talk her way out of an arrest.[2]

Barnes became a councilor in Stepney.[2] In 1938 she joined the Charity Organization Society which was active in assisting the poor but it had a poor reputation. Under her advice the organisation changed its name to remove the word "charity" to assist those who received their philanthropy.[1]

She and her husband were bombed out during the second world war and lived for a time at Toynbee Hall.[1] She continued to keep in contact with Sylvia Pankhurst until she emigrated to Ethiopia in 1955.[2]

Death and legacy

Barnes died in East Ham. The accounts of Barnes's life were in part inspiration for the film Suffragette.[3]
