There have been at least three historically significant people with the name "Daisy Bates":
Daisy May (O'Dwyer) Bates (1863-1951) was an Australian journalist, amateur anthropologist and lifelong student of Australian Aboriginal culture and society.
DaisyBates is best known for her involvement in the struggle to integrate Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The incident had a strong impact on young Daisy, but her rage at discrimination turned to horror when she learned, somewhat later, that the parents she had known all her life were in reality friends of her real parents; her mother, it turned out, had been murdered while resisting rape by three white men.
Bates noted in her book that brutality against returning soldiers was a great motivator in the growth of the civil rights movement, and that membership in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) grew radically during this period.
