Margaret Eleanor Parker (1827–1896) was a British social activist, social reformer, and travel writer who was involved in the temperance movement.[1] She was a founding member of the British Women's Temperance Association (BWTA) in 1876,[2] and served as its first president.[3] Born in England, Parker resided in Scotland.[4] She was a delegate to the 1876 International Organisation of Good Templars (IOGT) meeting which led to the formation of the BWTA. She was also instrumental in founding the World Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WWCTU). In 1881, she founded another type of women's association, one which focused on horticulture and supply, but it did not flourish.[5] Parker described her travels in the Eastern United States in Six Happy Months amongst the Americans (1874).[5]
