Women's Suffrage
The reclusive phase of Lytton's life started to change in 1905 when she was left £1,000 in her great-aunt/godmother, Lady Bloomfield's estate. She reportedly donated this to the revival of Morris dancing, and her family records state that "Her brother Neville suggests she gives it to the Esperance Club, a small singing and dancing group for working class girls", where part of the remit was to teach Morris dancing. The Esperance club was founded by Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence and Mary Neal in response to distressing conditions for girls in the London dress trade.
