Elizabeth Hope
Elizabeth Reid Cotton, Lady Hope (9 December 1842–8 March 1922) was a British evangelist and supporter of the Temperance movement.
In 1915, Hope claimed to have visited the British naturalist Charles Darwin shortly before his death in 1882, during which interview Hope said Darwin spoke of second thoughts about publicizing the theory of evolution. That Hope visited Darwin is possibly true, though her interpretation of what Darwin said at the putative interview is much less likely.

Famous quotes containing the words elizabeth and/or hope:
“Paris is a mighty schoolmaster, a grand enlightener of the provincial intellect.”
—Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1837–1915)
“I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have given themselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
