Abstract
On Sunday 20 May 1928, the 122nd anniversary of John Stuart Mill's birth, representatives of several women's organizations placed wreaths by the statute in Temple Gardens commemorating Mill. Dame Millicent Fawcett put in place the first of these floral tributes. The significance of the occasion was enhanced by the passage through the House of Commons earlier that month of the third reading of the bill to make the franchise equal for men and women. She had known Mill well partly due to the political work of Henry Fawcett, her husband since April 1867. Henry Fawcett had first corresponded with Mill in 1859. As well as a supporter of advanced causes, he also became absorbed in political economy. He adopted almost all Mill's ideas in his more popular study of the subject, A Manual of Political Economy. Henry Fawcett also contributed to the memorial issue of the Examiner, on Mill's influence in the universities.
