Helen Bright Clark (1840–1927)[1] was a British women's rights activist and suffragist. The daughter of a radical Member of Parliament, Clark was a prominent speaker for women's voting rights and at times a political realist who served as a mainstay of the 19th century suffrage movement in South West England.[2] A liberal in all senses,[1] Clark aided progress toward universal human brotherhood through her activities in organisations which assisted former slaves and aboriginal peoples.
