British schoolteacher and campaigner (b. June 13, 1910, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, Eng.—d. Nov. 23, 2001, Colchester, Eng.), was a founder (1964) and president of the Clean Up TV Campaign (
later [1965] the National Viewers' and Listeners' Association and then [1994] Mediawatch) and for some three decades pursued her goal of removing sexual and violent content from television, stage, and film.
