TFA blurb

Kitty Marion (1871–1944) was an activist who advocated for women's suffrage and birth control. Born in the German Empire, she immigrated to England in 1886 when she was 15. She sang in music halls throughout Britain and became known in the industry for bringing attention to the sexism and sexual assaults that were common in the business. She was a prominent member of the British suffrage movement, which campaigned for the right of women to vote. She began her advocacy by selling copies of the Votes for Women newspaper, then progressed to militant protests, including riots, bombing and arson attacks; she was imprisoned several times for arson and bombing. On the outbreak of World War I, she left Britain for the United States. She joined the birth control movement, and spent 13 years campaigning on street corners, selling the magazine Birth Control Review. She was arrested several times for distributing birth control information in violation of anti-obscenity laws. She died in New York in 1944.
