Evelina Haverfield

Evelina Haverfield (1867–1920) was a British suffragette and aid worker. In the early part of the XX century, she was involved in Emmeline Pankhurst's militant women's suffrage organisation the Women's Social and Political Union. During WWI she worked as a nurse in Serbia. After the war, she returned to Serbia with her companion Vera Holme to set up an orphanage in Bajina Bašta, a town in the west of the country. She built a children's health centre in Bajina Basta which was later named after her. She died on 21 March 1920 of pneumonia and is buried in the cemetery at Bajina Basta (Bajina Bašta 31250).
