Edith Charlotte Bury Palliser (22 December 1859 – 25 November 1927), was a campaigner for women’s suffrage and rights in Great Britain and Ireland.

Born 22 December 1859 Edith Charlotte Bury Palliser was the youngest child and only daughter to Frederick Hugh Palliser and Emily Price.^[1] Her father was from an Anglo-Irish family and was an explorer and big-game hunter. But they lost much of the family fortune during the Irish Famine and the collapse of the family plantation in Ceylon. In 1865 Palliser was living with her family in Norway but her parents separated and she returned to live in Waterford with her mother. They lived in Comeragh House, Waterford.^[2][3][4]

By 1895 Palliser had moved to London where she got a position as secretary with the Central Committee of the National Society for Women’s Suffrage. Palliser was chair of the London Society for Women’s Suffrage and secretary of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies as well as an executive member from 1911 to 1913. She remained with the campaign for suffrage until she retired in 1919. Palliser was the editor of the Women’s Suffrage Record, a quarterly newspaper which she privately funded. Her subeditor was Frances Sterling. She also was co-editor of a children's text about evolution called 'The Way the World Went Then' with Helen Blackburn. She was a contributor to, and board member of The Englishwoman a feminist paper related to the National Society for Women’s Suffrage. Palliser advised on the creation of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance and represented England in the first meeting in Berlin and again in Amsterdam, in 1904 and 1908. In 1915 she became chair of the London Committee of the Scottish Women's Hospitals during World War I.^{[2][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]}
