Griselda Cheape

Lady Griselda Johanna Helen Cheape (20 December 1865 – 12 February 1934) was a British anti-suffrage campaigner.

Early life Born in Angus, Scotland, Griselda Ogilvy was the sixth child of Henrietta Blanche Stanley and Sir David Graham Drummond Ogilvy, Earl of Airlie.

She was prominent in the Scottish National Women's Anti-Suffragette League (WASL),

The BWTA were pro women's suffrage, however the St Andrews branch where Lady Cheape was president (1909–12) was opposed. In 1913 Lady Cheape formed the 'Beehive'- an anti-suffrage society based in St Andrews. "Lady Cheape believed that direct political representation would undermine, rather than amplify, the idea of feminine moral superiority. Her opinions may be traced to her strongly evangelical approach to temperance reform that emphasised moral, rather than legal, 'suasion.'"

Death She died in 1934 in London.
