Emily Rosaline Orme (1835-1915) was a leader of the Edinburgh National Society for Women's Suffrage. She was a noted campaigner for women's suffrage in Scotland.

Life

Orme was born in 1835. During her childhood and youth she met many of the Pre-Raphaelite movement such as Holman Hunt, the Rosettis and Thomas Woolner at her parents home at Avenue Road in Regent's Park. She was sketched by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in the 1850s.[1]

The poet and critic, Coventry Patmore, who was the librarian at the British Museum in the 1850s, introduced her to David Masson who she married on 27 August 1853. They continued to share her parents home and political, artistic and literary friends including the philosopher and women's suffrage supporter John Stuart Mill visited.[2] They moved to Edinburgh in 1865.[3]

She and her husband campaigned for women's suffrage[4] and she was joint honorary secretary with Eliza Wigham of the Edinburgh National Society for Women's Suffrage from 1877.[3] At the end of November and beginning of December there were a series of meeting around the city of Edinburgh where she was one of the main speakers. She was one of the women who traveled from Edinburgh to the 'grand demonstration' in London on 6th May 1880.[5]

In 1881 both her and her daughter Flora joined the Edinburgh Ladies Debating Society where the question of suffrage was debated consistently[6].

Family

Her daughters Flora Masson and Rosaline Masson followed her in their support for the suffrage movement. She also has another daughter Helen and son David Orme Masson. Her sister Eliza Orme was the first woman to gain a law degree in England.
