Laura Ormiston Dibbin Chant (9

October 1848 – 16 February 1923, Banbury) was an English social reformer and writer. Chant was born on 9 October 1848, daughter of Francis William Dibbin (1811–1874), a civil engineer and Sophia

Ormiston (1815–1894), who managed a girls institution. Her parents were highly

disciplinary and she ran away from home aged fifteen. She worked as a nursing

sister in the Sophia Wards in the London Hospital. Working as a nurse,

considered a rough occupation at the time, her father banned her from ever

returning home. At work she met and later married Thomas Chant, M.R.C.S., L.S.A., of Bridgwater

in 1877. They had Thomas, Emmeline, Olive and Ethel Chant. Ormiston wrote and

lectured on social purity, temperance, and women's rights. Her published works

include pamphlets, hymns, a novel and a book of poetry and are described as

reflecting "many of the tensions characterizing feminism of the late

nineteenth and early twentieth centuries". She also wrote the words and

music for Action Songs for Children and several more volumes of music in

the same vein, consisting of simple ditties embodying physical exercises for

small children. In 1893 Chant addressed the 1893 Parliament of the World's Religions,

held in Chicago

in conjunction with the Columbian Exposition. Her subject was Duty

of God to Man Inquired. In 1894 she started attacking music-halls

as temptations to vice. She went to Bulgaria to give aid to Armenian refugees

from the 1894–1896 Hamidian massacres. Chant died in Banbury,

Oxfordshire,

16 February 1923.
