Emily Jane Harding Andrews (1850–1940) was a British artist, illustrator and suffragette. She was a member of the Artists' Suffrage League.

Early life

[edit]

Harding was born in 1850 in Bristol, England. She studied at Clifton Ladies' College and the Bristol School of Art.[1]

Career

[edit]

In her early career she specialized in miniatures. One was included at the Royal Academy exhibition in 1877. By the mid-1880s, Harding had changed her focus to illustration, often of children's books, including Hand in Hand in Children's Land (1887) by S. and E. Lecky,[2] The Little Ladies (1890) by Helen Milman,[3] Merry Moments (1892) by Rose E. May,[4] and The Disagreeable Duke (1894) by Eleanor Davenport Adams.[5] She generally used her maiden name,[6] though exceptions exist.[7] Her translation and illustrations for "Fairy Tales of the Slav Peasants and Herdsmen" (ISBN 1909302554) remain in print.[8]

Harding became involved with the Artists' Suffrage League, designing posters for the cause.[9][10] She co-signed a letter to the editor of The Guardian in 1908, decrying the use of physical violence against activists, alongside fellow artist and suffragist Mary Sargant Florence.[11]

Personal life

[edit]

In 1879 she married fellow artist Edward William Andrews.[6] Harding's husband died in 1915, and she eventually emigrated to Australia. She died in 1940 in Sutherland Shire.[1]
