NETTA SYRETT - OF RAMSGATE

Netta (Syrett), novelist - suffragette - feminist - campaigner fore woman's rights
A woman of sexuality that Netta defended - at that time Oscar Wild being enduring
This were in the late Victorian times

Family lived over the shop - 23 Harbor Street - now a barbers - ironically

Percussion - prosecution - Netta with reason felt her self in danger of suffering same
Netta's Father supported her and the thirteen children in being educated by the Children's mother and German governess during their informative years
Three of her sisters Nellie - Kate & Mabel - went on to become artist in their own Right - all born in Ramsgate Kent
But he were unable to except her sexuality - leading to a rift between them - Unbridgeable
One of Netta's novels - PORTRAIT OF A REBEL (1930) made into a film as:
A Woman Rebels - Netta Syrett - a woman of her times - and of the times since!
Netta Syrett - MUST NOT BE FORGOT!
