      I gotchu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotha_Lintorn-Orman

      Following her war service, Lintorn-Orman placed an advertisement in the right-wing journal The Patriot seeking anti-communists.[13] This led to the foundation of the British Fascisti (later the British Fascists) in 1923 as a response to the growing strength of the Labour Party, a source of great anxiety for the virulently anti-Communist Lintorn-Orman.[14] She felt Labour was too prone to advocating class conflict and internationalism, these being two political positions she strongly opposed.[15]

      Her fascist party successor is also a woman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Grace_Waring

      From 1922, complaints were received about Waring’s alleged over-zealous strip searching of women suspected of carrying weapons or messages on behalf of the IRA.[1] She was defended by Northern Ireland’s minister of home affairs, but as a result of concern that her actions might lead to local rioting, she was dismissed in March 1923.[1]
