Minnie Byron

Louisa Elizabeth Babb (1861–1901), known professionally as Minnie Byron, was an English mezzo-soprano and actress best known for her character performances of Opéra bouffe in the 1880s. However successful, Byron was not a career performer, using her brief public visibility to secure a more stable and prosperous future for herself and her children, an important footnote in social history or specifically, women's history.
