Irene Miller (1880-1964) was the daughter of suffragette Florence Fenwick Miller and was surrounded by her mother's suffragette friends whilst growing up. In 1906 Miller was a member of the first London committee of the Women's Social and Political Union. She was one of the first WSPU members imprisoned after participating in a demonstration in the Lobby of the House of Commons in October 1906. She broke away from the WSPU to help found the Women's Freedom League in 1907.
