Richardson refers the Memoir of Anna Deborah Richardson. A D R had became a friend of Davies whilst living with her father in Gateshead, and recounts how she and Davies were 'fully alive to the need for Higher Education for women' and social reform. They organised classes for women, with Dr Embleton, a physician in Gateshead, who taught the students in his own house. According to S A Richardson the class (1859 or 60) comprised Emily Davies, Elisabeth Richardson, Priscilla Mennel, Augusta Richardson, Anna Atkins, Ann Dinah Holmes, Jane Richardson and herself.
She goes on to recount further meetings with E D in London, where she moved to after the death of her father, and then again in the early days at Girton. She notes that in her later years, E D talked at length about women’s suffrage, and ‘laboured most strenuously for the cause’.
