Margery Fry Collection

Margery Fry (1874-1958) was Principal of Somerville for five years between 1926 and 1931. She is perhaps better known for her work in the field of penal reform, becoming the first secretary of the Howard League for Penal Reform and being appointed one of the first women magistrates in the country. Her brother was the art critic and painter Roger Fry. Somerville holds a collection of her correspondence and papers, which can be consulted in the Index to Margery Fry Collection.
