Louisa Browning

Louisa Browning (1807 – 6 September 1887) was a British school proprietor. Her small school had some notable pupils.

Life Browning was born in 1807 in London. Her father was Robert Browning who would be the grandfather of the poet named Robert Browning when he was born in 1812. Her father had however remarried to Jane Smith and she was his sixth child. Emily Davies was quoted as saying "It is quite clear what has to be done. I must devote myself to securing higher education, while you [Elizabeth must] open the medical profession to women. After these things are done, we must see about getting the vote." She then turned to Millicent: "You are younger than we are, Millie, so you must attend to that."

Millicent was the youngest and by the time she left the school it was under new management. Louisa and Sarah had retired by 1862 to a house together. Browning died in Haverstock Hill in 1887.
