Chrystal Macmillan (1872-1937) was a barrister and campaigner for women’s rights from Edinburgh. She appeared before a number of committees and enquiries promoting the interests of women on issues such as street crime and equal rights on unemployment insurance.

She campaigned all her life for a woman’s right to full citizenship under the law, in Scotland, Great Britain and internationally. She became secretary of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance in 1913. During the First World War she helped organise the International Congress of Women in the Hague, which sought the intervention of neutral states to bring an end to the war.
