Verité Reily Collins

Verité Reily Collins (3 August 1938 – 2 July 2025) was a British businesswoman, writer and health campaigner. Her company launched the "Union Jills", a team of female demonstrators and sales staff who promoted British goods internationally. She became notable through a bizarre tribute to her work by the feminist writer Germaine Greer. In her book The Female Eunuch, Greer saluted the efforts of Reily Collins as an example of a successful female entrepreneur, at a time when this was considered to be unusual. Later in life Reily Collins became a health campaigner for the two conditions that impacted her, polio and cancer. She was a trustee of the Polio Survivors Network, a registered charity which supports those with post polio syndrome (PPS). As a writer, she promoted the Border Terrier dog breed and the tourism industry. Provided by Wikipedia
