Louise Samuel

Dame Louise Victoria Samuel DBE (died 13 October 1925), sometimes called Louise Gilbert Samuel, née Louise Victoria Steibel, was an English suffragist and charity worker.

She was the daughter of Isaac Steibel. In 1889 she married Gilbert Ellis Samuel, son of Edwin Samuel and brother of Sir Stuart Samuel and Viscount Samuel. From its foundation in 1908 until its dissolution in 1918 she served as honorary secretary of the Conservative Women's Franchise Association, a non-militant women's suffrage movement. In 1919 she was elected to Chelsea Borough Council for the Municipal Reform Party. In August 1914 she co-founded the War Refugees' Committee. She was a member of the Managing Committee and head of the Health Section throughout the First World War.

In 1918, she was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her refugee work. She was promoted to Dame Commander (DBE) in the 1920 civilian war honours.
