She was treasurer and a financial supporter of the Women's Freedom League which was a non-violent and anti-war suffrage group. LifeKnight was born in 1869. Her father left her a substantial inheritance. After studying at Newnham College, Cambridge and then training at the London School of Medicine for Women she became a general practitioner from 1904.[1] She joined the British Medical Association in 1907.[1] A member of the Women's Freedom League, she was imprisoned in 1908 after attempting to interview Prime Minister Herbert Asquith at 10 Downing Street.[2] There she wrote “Social and Sanitary Conditions of Prison Life”.[3] She served further prison sentences for her part in the Women's Tax Resistance League. Knight was a source of funds for the Women's Freedom League. She took over as treasurer from Constance Tite in 1912 where she brought more calm to the financial situation. Before she was appointed the league had suffered from occasions when it had to appeal to its members for loans. Knight devoted a lot of her time and introduced new fundraising schemes for the league although finances were also helped by large donations by an "anonymous" person. It is suspected that this person was Knight.[4] Knight was one of the leaseholders of their premises in Holborn together with Charlotte Despard, Octavia Lewin and Alice and Edward Green. Within the building was the Minerva Cafe. This cafe should not be confused with the Minerva Club which was at 28a Brunswick Square and was paid for by Alice Green and Knight. The club was used for meetings but also acted as a hostel for suffrage activists[5] from 1920.[6] Knight died in 1933 following a car accident in Brighton.[1] References1. ^1 {{Cite journal|last=Group|first=British Medical Journal Publishing|date=1933-11-11|title=Dr. Elizabeth Knight|url=https://www.bmj.com/content/2/3801/901.3|journal=Br Med J|language=en|volume=2|issue=3801|pages=901–901|doi=10.1136/bmj.2.3801.901-b|issn=1468-5833}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Knight, Elizabeth}}2. ^1 {{cite web |last1=Crawford |first1=Elizabeth |title=The Women's Suffrage Movement: A Reference Guide 1866-1928 |url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=a2EK9P7-ZMsC&pg=PA328&lpg=PA328&dq=Dr+Elizabeth+Knight+1869&source=bl&ots=aO8Zn5ziwu&sig=QKl8W1tDmtszKl7ORpl-TzlDE_I&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjv84mK54_dAhVMIMAKHf2eCIwQ6AEwAXoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=Dr%20Elizabeth%20Knight%201869&f=false |publisher=Routledge |accessdate=29 August 2018 |language=en |date=2 September 2003}} 3. ^{{cite web |title=Elizabeth Knight {{!}} Great British - bringing you closer to our history makers |url=http://great-british.co.uk/wordpress/?p=8668 |website=great-british.co.uk |accessdate=29 August 2018}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/2516/1/DX178742.pdf|title="DARING TO BE FREE": THE EVOLUTION OF WOMEN'S POLITICAL IDENTITIES IN THE WOMEN'S FREEDOM LEAGUE 1907 - 1930|last=Eustance|first=Claire Louise|date=1993|website=Whiterose.ac.uk (York Uni)|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=26 Dec 2018}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://libcom.org/history/minerva-café|title=The Minerva Café|website=libcom.org|language=en|access-date=2018-12-26}} 6. ^{{cite web |last1=Doughan |first1=David |last2=Gordon |first2=Professor Peter |last3=Gordon |first3=Peter |title=Dictionary of British Women's Organisations, 1825-1960 |url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=dI23AwAAQBAJ&pg=PT117&lpg=PT117&dq=Dr+Elizabeth+Knight+%221933%22&source=bl&ots=y5sNM27v7y&sig=BWc_8T3QXCTMWpU5hev4rulMcuE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiFv5ek3JHdAhUMDcAKHQicBrIQ6AEwCnoECAcQAQ#v=onepage&q=Dr%20Elizabeth%20Knight%20%221933%22&f=false |publisher=Routledge |accessdate=29 August 2018 |language=en |date=3 June 2014}} 10 : 1869 births|1933 deaths|20th-century British medical doctors|British women medical doctors|Alumni of Newnham College, Cambridge|Women's Freedom League|Suffragettes|Women philanthropists|British philanthropists|Place of birth missing |
