Janet Smith holds a PhD in Women’s History and a M. A. (distinction) in Postcolonial Cultures from London Metropolitan University. She is a member of the Royal Historical Society and the National Coalition of Independent Scholars.


Janet became interested in Helen Taylor during her Masters course when she read a brief reference to her in a book on the Irish Land War (1879-1882) as a well-to-do English woman who helped to build huts to shelter the evicted tenants. She searched for other literature on Taylor but found it sparce and mainly negative. Convinced there was more to this woman than someone who would argue with her own shadow, Janet decided to research her life for a PhD. Janet has published articles and chapters in academic journals and books on Taylor and on the philosophies underpinning the nineteenth century women’s movement.
