Elsie Beatrice Shrigley (née Salling; 30 October 1899 – 13 May 1978), also known as Sally Shrigley, was an English vegan activist and a co-founder, along with Donald Watson, of The Vegan Society in 1944. She is credited, by some, as coining the word "vegan" with Watson;[1][2] however, this is incorrect as the word vegan was coined by Watson and his then-future wife Dorothy Morgan,[3] from the first three and last two letters of 'vegetarian' in 1944.[4]
Biography
Shrigley was born in North London, in 1899, to a Swedish mother and Danish father.[5] She married Walter Shrigley, a dentist, in 1939.[6] Shrigley became a vegetarian in 1934 and stopped eating dairy from 1944.[5] In August of the same year, Shrigley along with Donald Watson and others called for "a non-dairy section of the Vegetarian Society"; the rejection of this proposal from the society[7] led to the formation of the vegan movement and the founding of The Vegan Society.[8]
Shrigley was an honorary secretary of the Croydon Vegetarian Society from 1940 to 1958 and was later a secretary for the Surrey Vegetarian Society.[9] She was also a temporary secretary for the London Vegetarian Society for three months. She was President of The Vegan Society in the early 1960s, then taking various other positions in the society; she served on its committee until her death.[6]
She died in Tonbridge, Kent in 1978.[6]
