Who was Elizabeth Cotton, Lady Hope?
Elizabeth Reid Cotton, Lady Hope was a British evangelist who encouraged women preaching to men and the Temperance movement.
In 1915, Hope claimed to have visited the British naturalist Charles Darwin shortly before his death in 1882, during which interview Hope said Darwin spoke of second thoughts about publicising the theory of evolution. That Hope visited Darwin is possibly true, though her interpretation of what Darwin said at the putative interview is much less likely.
