Family information: Daughter to Helen Tyson.
Additional Information: Leonora joined the WSPU with her mother Helen Tyson. The two were arrested that year for taking part in a deputation to the House of Commons. Leonora became honorary secretary of the WSPU (London) Lambeth branch in 1910 and then the Streatham branch. In 1911, she took part in a protest in Bath, where she and others shouted and heckled the Prime Minister from the roof of a four-storey building when he was trying to give a speech. In 1912, she spent two months in prison for taking part in the WSPU's organised window-smashing campaign. In prison, she kept an autograph album signed by many fellow suffragette prisoners. This is now kept at the Museum of London.
