Family information: Mother to three daughters and a son.

Additional Information: Myra subscribed to the Central Society for Women's Suffrage (CSWS) from 1902 and its follow-on organisation, the London Society for Women's Suffrage (LSWS), between 1906 and 1907. She joined the WSPU in 1907 and the following year also gave a donation to the Women's Freedom League (WFL). She also became a member of the Free Church League for Women's Suffrage (FCLWS) after its founding in 1910. The following year she became a committee member for the Women's Tax Resistance League (WTRL). In 1912, Myra took part in a WSPU window-smashing campaign and was sentenced to two months' hard labour. She joined in a hunger strike and was force-fed with a nasal tube, despite having had a broken nose in the past and operations on both her nose and throat. Between 1914 and 1915, she helped to raise money for the East London Federation of Suffragettes (ELFS) and became a member of the United Suffragists (US) circa 1916. She kept in touch with the WFL as an organisation, joining its national executive committee in 1933 until her death.

Other Suffrage Activities: Myra served as a Poor Law Guardian for Hackney, London in 1898. She was also honorary secretary of the North Hackney Women's Liberal Association.
