Mrs. Partington is mopping the incoming tide that brings women suffrage.

Emily Jane Harding was the first of six children of a traveling merchant. Harding attended Clifton Ladies' College and received a diploma from the Bristol School of Art in 1868.

The family moved to London in the early 1870s. Harding first exhibited a miniature at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1877 . The National Portrait Gallery owns a chalk portrait of Arthur Penrhyn Stanley of her from this period .

In 1879 she married the portraitist Edward Andrews (1841–1915). From the 1880s she illustrated - still under her maiden name - books for young people as well as fairy tale books by the Brothers Grimm and by Hans Christian Andersen . She also translated from French. In 1897 she again exhibited an object in the Royal Academie.

Harding-Andrews supported the women's suffrage movement and was a member of the Artists' Suffrage League , for which she created propaganda postcards and posters. Her cartoon Convicts lunatics and women! Have no vote for parliament (prisoners, madmen and women have no right to vote). Andrews was first arrested on November 19, 1910, when suffragettes from the Women's Social and Political Union invaded the House of Commons . On November 27, 1911, she was arrested again as a participant in a demonstration for women's suffrage, in which shop windows were broken.

In 1935 she moved from England to Sutherland in Australia , where one of her sisters had settled years earlier.
