Patricia Bartlett
Born 1949
Patricia Bartlett (17 March 1928 – 8 November 2000) was a New Zealand conservative Catholic activist. In 1970, she founded the Society for Promotion of Community Standards (SPCS). Her pro-censorship campaigns contributed to a backlash against social conservatism in New Zealand during the 1980s and 1990s, though the SPCS continued to operate as a pressure group after her death.
