Daisy Dorothea Solomon (1882–1978) was posted as a human letter in the British suffragette campaign[1] using a quirk in the postal system to approach the Prime Minister who would not receive a delegation of women demanding the right to vote. Solomon was secretary to suffragette groups and imprisoned for protest,[2] and went on hunger strike.[3]
