Dora Montefiore

Dorothy (Dora) Frances Montefiore (nee Fuller) (1851 - 1933) was a British socialist and feminist activist and internationalist. Montefiore was involved acrss the range of feminist organisations, was a pacifist and later a founder member of the Beritish Communist Party. Schreiner’s letters during the First World War refer to being taken out in Montefiore’s car for drives, and that one such plan had to be cancelled because Montfiore was being prosecuted because she had not observed the strict blackout regulations to prevent zepplin bombing raids. It is likely that some letters were exchanged between Schreiner and Montefiore, although none have been traced.
