@rosiehharte: “Had she been a man, she would be the leader of a political party” 🗳️ Meet Harriet Grote, a radical politician and passionate feminist who ran 19th century politics from the sidelines. In an age where women were kept out of official party politics, ambitious women like Harriet had to find other means of exerting their influence. Grote was famous for her salon meetings, where she helped to organise and strategise radical MP’s and campaign for voting reform! #historyfacts #victorianera #19thcenturyhistory #History
