Some historical and global examples of tax resistance → women’s suffrage movements → British women’s suffrage movement → Fleming Williams

From the 18 April 1913 issue of The Vote:

The Federated Council Urges Tax Resistance.

At the statutory meeting of the Federated Council of Suffrage Societies on April 9, presided over by Miss M[ary].A[delaide]. Broadhurst, tax resistance was adopted unanimously and enthusiastically. The Rev. Fleming Williams proposed and Dr. Hochman seconded the resolution:—

That the Federated Council of Suffrage Societies, recognising tax resistance as a constitutional principle, recommended its adoption as a means of supporting their demands for a Government measure of Woman Suffrage.

Another article in the same issue briefly notes that the Women’s Tax Resistance League will be meeting, with Earl Russel and Israel Zangwill speaking on the subject of “The Attitude Taken Up in Regard to the Taxation of Married Women in the forthcoming Finance Bill.”
