Her book The Renaissance of Girls' Education (1898) made big contributions to the debate on the education and rights of women in Zimmern's time. Later her Women's Suffrage in Many Lands (1909), which coincided with the Fourth Congress of the International Women's Suffrage Alliance and her Demand and Achievement. The International Women's Suffrage Movement (1912) secured her legacy as a pioneering suffragist. The blue plaque on her house in Hampstead describes her as a "pioneering advocate for women's education and suffrage". Provenance: Emily B. C. Perkins, from Tayvallioh, Argyllshire went on to contribute her personal favouite quotation in 1900 to the publication "Sop as Gach Seid (a Straw from Every Sheaf): A Collection of Favourite Quotations" as follows "Truth is the property of no individual, but is the treasure of all men" (Letters and Social Aims.
