Life
[edit | edit source]Mackenzie was born in 1873 in Normanton, West Riding of Yorkshire.[1]
She worked as a medical doctor and contributed to publications such as The British Medical Journal.[2] She also gave talks to The Parents National Education Union, such as on the topic of "Health in the Home" in 1907.[3]
Mackenzie was a suffragette and worked closely with Adela Pankhurst to build a local Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) branch in Scarborough.[4] She served as branch treasurer and later as secretary.[5] She also gave speeches at the WSPU branch in York, organised by Annie Coultate.[6]
She was arrested on 18 November 1910 as part of a WSPU deputation to deputation to Westminster.[1][7] She also participated in the suffragette boycott of the 1911 census.[8][page needed]
In her later life she lived in Leeds and worked at a local hospital. She died in 1951.[9]
Legacy
[edit | edit source]A plaque commemorating the former WSPU office was erected by the Scarborough and District Civic Society at 33 St Nicholas Cliff, Scarborough, on International Women's Day in 2024.[10]
