Isabella Bream Pearce

Isabella Bream Pearce (5 May 1859 – 11 December 1929) was a socialist propagandist and suffrage campaigner. She was the vice-president of the Glasgow Labour Party, president of the Glasgow Women's Labour Party, and a member of the Cathcart School Board.

Pearce and Isabella Ford both worked on behalf of the Women's Emancipation Union (WEU) in addition to their socialist labours. Ford spoke on the WEU's behalf at a series of rallies in the East End of London in 1895 while Pearce contributed important papers to WEU conferences.

The Glasgow branch of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), the leading militant organisation campaigning for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom, from its inception had very strong links with the Independent Labour Party with early support provided by Pearce and from Tom Johnston of the ILP.

Teresa Billington-Greig was sent to organise the WSPU in Scotland in 1906 and it was through Pearce's friendship with Elizabeth Wolstenholme Elmy that Billington-Greig was introduced to Glasgow. Billington-Greig setup the WSPU's Scottish Council with Pearce as treasurer and married Frederick Lewis in Pearce's home in February 1907. When Billington-Greig resigned from the WSPU in June 1907 after falling out with then Pankhursts, Pearce and Grace Paterson took over as joint secretaries of the WSPU's Scottish Council.
