Beatrice Helen Sanders (1874 – 29 November 1932) was a British suffragette.

Born Beatrice Martin, her mother was a hairdresser[1] and she worked as an assistant in her fathers' tobacconist shop before marrying a progressive social politician[1], William Stephen Sanders.[2] A keen women's suffrage activist, from 1904 until 1914, she was employed, at a salary of £3 a week[1], as the financial secretary of the Women's Social and Political Union.[3] Annie Kenney recalled in her memoirs[4], Sanders strong control of members' expenses, as they would be expected to correct errors or deficits "out of our own pocket ".[1]

Sanders worked closely with Sylvia Pankhurst, and was imprisoned for her activities on multiple occasions.[5] On one occasion, she was sentence to fourteen months for taking part in the events at the House of Commons in February 1907, and for a month for throwing stones on Black Friday in November 2010. By 1913, as financial secretary of the Women's Social and Political Union she was arrested with Harriet Kerr after a struggle with police which was front page news in The Suffragette, when the premises at Clements Inn was raided, the sentence was fifteen days.[1] [6] She went on hunger strike and was temporarily released under the terms of the Cat and Mouse Act, and although her sentence was never annulled, she not re-arrested.[3]

Sanders and her husband were longstanding members of the Fabian Society, and during the 1920s served as chair of the Fabian Women's Group.[7] For a period when her husband was working in Geneva, she became an organiser in the Swiss women's movement.[3]
