Tan Teck Neo was the daughter of Tan Keong Saik, who helped the Methodist missionary Sophia Blackmore set up a girls’ school, in part because he wanted his daughters properly educated. In 1900 she married Lee Choon Guan, becoming his second wife. Mrs Lee supported a number of women’s causes, including scholarships for midwives and an endowment for the Singapore Chinese Girls’ School. She was one of the founders of the Chinese Ladies’ Association (now the Chinese Women’s Association) and served as its first president. They gave classes on domestic skills, and later took on charitable causes. During the First World War, she went to India to help with welfare for British troops, and was active in the Red Cross. In 1918, she was the first Chinese woman to be made a Member of the Order of the British Empire.
