Sat Tel GK 29d

[ahutches]

Thanks to Lie-in-King I've finished Sunday's general knowledge crossword, but stuck on my last clue for Saturdays:
29d US suffrage pioneer of the 19th C who popularised a baggy garment for the lower body. I have b?o?m?r.

Can I also please check that 21a Isopod is correct?

Mrs Amelia Bloomer was the lady in question, who wore a bifurcated garment, ie trousers, and they became known as Bloomers.
