Life


Naylor was born in London in 1856. She studied art and had a self portrait exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1890 which was commented on by the Illustrated London News.[1] She studied in Paris and exhibited in various exhibitions and she had a one-woman exhibition at Galerie Dosbourg in 1898[2] before returning to the UK where she took an interest in women's suffrage.[3]

In 1907 she joined the Women's Social and Political Union. In February 1908 she was one of several suffragette including Vera Wentworth and the Brackenbury sisters who were arrested for the Pantechnicon Raid.[3] This WSPU stunt was to drop off a large group of women from a removal van (a pantechnicon) so that they could storm the House of Commons.

Naylor died in Richmond in 1940 after an air raid.
