    Daughter of Duleep Singh (the last Maharaja of Punjab) and Mamba Muller, Princess

    Sophia D Singh's godmother was Queen Victoria. Still, she was unafraid to speak for
    the everywoman. As a suffragette and leader of the Women's Tax Resistance
    League and the Women's Social and Political Union, Singh famously obstructed
    prime minister H.H. Asquith's car by holding a placard that read 'Give women the
    vote!'.
    During the first world war, she helped Indian soldiers and lascar groups, leading a
    10,000-woman protest rally to campaign for women's inclusion in the war effort. She
    also worked as a British Red Cross Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse in Isleworth,
    tending to wounded soldiers.
