(16 September 1846 − 22 February 1888)
English physician, anti-vivisectionist, vegetarian campaigner and women's rights advocate; one of the first women to qualify as a physician in England (M.D., Paris).

Disagreements with A. P. Sinnett over the Society's Eastern orientation led her to leave the London Lodge and found the Hermetic Society in 1884.
