Amy Morant
Amy Constance Morant (1864 – 1918) was a British political activist who moved from liberalism to socialism.
Born in Hampstead, Morant was the younger sister of Robert Laurie Morant.[1] She won scholarships to study at Bedford College, London, and Newnham College, Cambridge. From 1887 to 1888, she worked with unemployed people in London,[2] and this led her to become involved in the Women's Liberal Federation, for which she became an organiser. She also translated a number of German works on the social sciences, and wrote her own poetry.[3]
In the 1890s, Morant left the Liberal Party and joined both the Independent Labour Party and the Social Democratic Federation. She wrote a pamphlet about her experience, "Liberalism unveiled; or, a Creed without a Programme".[3]
