She was a teacher and founded with her sisters a private school in Hill Street. She also sat on Coventry's Education Committee from 1903 to 1930 as well as working as an almoner for Spencer's Pensions - a pension charity for women.

In the 1890s, she lived with her brother (a cycle manufacturer) and his wife and children, but by 1901 seems to have moved in with her sister's family. By 1911, they were living at 46 Shaftesbury Road, Coventry. Alice was likely responsible for getting the suffragette WSPU branch in Coventry started some time in late spring of 1908, serving as both secretary and President in its early days. That year (and by then residing in Queens Road) Alice was the only woman representing Coventry in a deputation of women who travelled to London to see the Prime Minister to put the votes for women case to him. The PM refused to speak with them. So, the women reassembled at nearby Caxton Hall where it was decided to return to Parliament Square to protest at this refusal. There, the women were prevented by police and scuffles broke out leading to Alice's arrest for obstruction. In a postcard home, she claimed not to have been arrested for obstruction, but for simply trying to address the crowd. Like the more than 20 other women arrested that day, she was offered the choice of a fine or imprisonment. Alice elected to serve the cause by going to prison and spent one month in Holloway. She was released with 15 other suffragettes on the 31st of July. The women were met at the gate by crowds of well wishers including WSPU leaders Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst with bouquets and a brass band before being whisked by wagonette to a celebratory breakfast. Upon returning to Coventry, Alice was invited to speak about her experiences to local votes for women supporters at St Peter's Vicarage by (see) Rev. Percy Widdrington. At the meeting she said 'she did not regret her month in Holloway. She was not at all a penitent prisoner. She went to prison because it seemed to her the only way, or at any rate the best way, in which she could help the movement'. In 1909, she seems to have officially left the Coventry WSPU who gifted Alice an enameled pendant as 'a token of their high regard and affection' and for the suffering she had endured in prison. Alice's reason for leaving is unclear, but she thanked them for the gift and 'assured them that the hardest thing to do for the cause was to do nothing'. She continued to take an interest in the campaign and attend meetings. In 1911 she complied with the census, choosing not to take part in the wider suffragette boycott of the survey that year. Thereafter, and like many suffrage campaigners, she slips into obscurity. Alice died in January 1945 aged 82, and was still resident in Coventry. Researcher: Tara Morton.

She served for many years as Headmistress at Coventry High School for girls, opened by her at the Quadrant. A College House was later added in Holyhead Road. Agnes' school was well provisioned - with a hockey and cricket field, tennis and swimming pool - it also took boarders and prepared pupils for all public examinations. During her time at the school, Agnes became a member of the Coventry Women's Suffrage Society (a local branch of the law abiding NUWSS) and in 1910 held a Votes for Women meeting at the Quadrant. Agnes eventually retired from the school due to failing eyesight, and in her leisure time enjoyed her involvement with the Coventry National History and Scientific Society as well as with the Coventry City Guild. She died on April 27th, 1929 aged 71 and her funeral service was held in Coventry Cathedral where she was a regular worshipper. In her will, Agnes left a stipend to her Assistant Headmistress at the school, Miss Mary Kemp, with the remainder of her estate being equally divided between her sister, brother and her friend and companion, Miss Margaret Elkins, 'as a reward for her unfailing and disinterested devotion to me'.

He was educated at Weymouth College and at St John's College, Cambridge, and was appointed Canon of Birmingham cathedral in 1906. In 1907, he took charge of St Michael's, Coventry, where he also took up the votes for women cause. He became a speaker at suffrage meetings, and accompanied his wife - a member of the Coventry Women's Suffrage Society - to meetings on numerous occasions. In 1912, the couple left Coventry, when John was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury to take a new post at Mary-le-bow in Cheapside, London. However, he did not leave behind the suffrage cause. In 1913, he held a public women's suffrage rally in his new London parish, where he made clear his ardent support but his disagreement with the suffragettes militant tactics. Speaking at the rally about suffrage campaigning, he said, 'it did not matter only that they did win, it mattered how they won...' and campaigners should '...resolve that they would come through with untarnished hands, even if the fight took longer to win'.

She later married Dr. William Richardson Rice who was appointed medical officer to district one of the Coventry Union in 1903, a post he held until his death in 1912. Dr. Rice was also active locally in St John's Ambulance and several other health and welfare charities and committees. He was described as a 'socialist' and once stood unsuccessfully as a Labour Party candidate. Ethel too was very active in the Coventry charitable work, sitting on the Coventry committee of the NSPCC and taking the office of Honorary Treasurer of the Coventry branch of the National Anti-Vivisection Society in 1905. In November 1908, she attended a local WSPU meeting where Christabel and Sylvia Pankhurst spoke, and to which police were called as suffragette speakers were heckled by opposers in the crowd. Press reports describe the meeting as descending into 'Uproarious Scenes'. Ethel had already attended the reception held for Coventry suffragette (see) Alice Lea on her release from prison earlier that year, but the meeting may have reinforced her support as she was a prominent figure at many WSPU meetings thereafter, often held at the city's 'Lounge Cafe'. Ethel also held several WSPU meetings at her own home - in 1911 at Binley Road and in 1912 at Gosford Terrace. In 1911, Ethel took part in the suffragette boycott of the goverment census survey that year in protest at not having the vote. She did supply her details but also wrote across the form: 'I give this information under protest not being considered a person in the eyes of the law'. Her husband Dr. Rice is absent from the form and no mention is made of him. He had suffered a nervous breakdown just a few years beforehand, so may have been convalescing elsewhere at that time. He died in August 1912, and Ethel relocated to London shortly afterwards. There she changed her mind on suffrage tactics. She now believed that the best way for women to gain the vote was to focus less on militant action, and to become active in local politics, occupying as many local government positions as was possible. Hence, Ethel stood for a position on Hendon Council in 1914 and was successfully elected, stating that: 'Women were waking up to a sense of their duty and their was room for women on all councils'. She was supported in her campaign by the another recent settler in London from Coventry, suffrage campaigner (see) Rev. Canon Masterman. Clearly, Coventry votes for women ties were strong. Ethel died in London in July 1944. Researcher: Tara Morton. Coventry research funded by Warwick University.
