According to the Fawcett Society—a women's rights charity named after her—Fawcett organised the first petition for women's suffrage when she was 19 years old.
From 1907 until 1919, Fawcett was president of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, which had 50,000 members—"the largest organisation agitating for female suffrage at the time."

Google shared the early sketches of the Doodle in a blog post. The sketches feature a reference to the words which adorn a recently-unveiled statue of Fawcett in London's Parliament Square: "Courage calls to courage everywhere."
