She was the daughter of Bridstock Watkins and belonged to the lower-middle class. Little is known of her early life or education, but her instruction allowed her to become a writer and lecturer. She wrote several articles for the Owenite socialist newspaper ''New Moral World'' on feminist demands and her Millennialist beliefs. She was married to the socialist Goodwyn Barmby.
