Mrs Mallet

Concerned for the poor of Lambeth and was a district visitor in 1864 trying to identify families in need. She organized a refuge for women and then started to prepare penny dinners. She also ran mother's meetings and gave sewing classes for girls.

From The Englishwoman's Review of Social and Industrial Questions: 1892 we learn that a Mrs Charles Mallett stood unsuccessfully for election for the School Board in Lambeth, but it's not certain this is our lady.
