I'd love to find that she was my ancestor ! you
go.girl.l've read somewhere that she harangued Cromwell, saying they had
promised all would be equal, but, quoting Orwell, some were more equal than
others, i.e. men more equal than women. Is it possible to find pamphlets
online? What a lady,

Thank you for the comment. Can you remember where you saw
that she met Cromwell? I have just finished an article on Women Levellers and
the English Revolution for the blog Hoydens and Firebrands which includes some
stuff on Chidley.
If you like I can send you some stuff I have on her. It
is true she was quite a lady and apparently one of many. Maybe you should do some
research on whether she was a relative. Chidley does not strike me as a common
name, where are you from.
Best Wishes
