	Lady Freemason (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Elizabeth was born in 1693, and was the daughter of the 1st Viscount Doneraile of County Cork, who, according to one source, "held lodges in his house", as was the custom of aristocratic brothers of that day.
		One has her hiding herself in a clock in a room in an inn where the lodge was being held, being assisted by the wife of the tavern keeper, which has been disproven and comes from a poem published sometime after the event.
		Elizabeth then tried to leave her hiding place, but the only way out was through the door of the library.

	Freemasonry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While this has been slowly changing, especially over the past century, there were exceptions to the rule as early as the 18th century.
		Perhaps the most authoritative account of a woman being admitted to Freemasonry in these early years surrounds Elizabeth Aldworth (nee St. Leger), who is reported to have viewed the proceedings of a Lodge meeting held at Doneraile House, the house of her father, first Viscount Doneraile, a resident of Cork, Ireland.
		Aldworth's situation was a very irregular (and perhaps unique) one, the admission of women was systematized when International Co-Masonry began in France in 1882 with the initiation of Maria Deraismes into the Loge Libre Penseurs (Freethinkers Lodge), a men's Lodge under the Grande Loge Symbolique de France.

		In continental Europe, the most ancient recorded family crest was discovered upon the monumental effigy of a Count of Wasserburg in the church of St. Emeran, at Ratisobon, Germany...

		There is the story in early 1712 of Elizabeth Aldworth, as a young girl from Cork, Ireland, her father used to have lodge meetings in a room right next to their home.
		The mystery proved to be too much for Elizabeth, who was in an apartment next door, and she picked a loose brick out of the wall and witnessed the degree taking place.
		The brethren of lodge were at a loss for what to do with this eavesdropper, and after much discussion of "silencing" her, they agreed to initiate her through the degrees in order to assure her secrecy.
