Susanna Rustin’s article on Josephine Butler (Josephine Butler: the forgotten feminist who fought the UK police – and their genital inspections, 27 June) was a welcome corrective to the relative obscurity into which this extraordinary woman had sunk. But she is not forgotten everywhere. At St Olave’s Hart Street church in the City of London, Butler is remembered in a stained-glass window, portrayed alongside Elizabeth Fry, Florence Nightingale and Edith Cavell. We continue to give thanks for her remarkable life campaigning for the rights and dignity of women.
