As a follower of Emmeline Pankhurst, she was jailed six times for her activities between 1908 and 1912 protesting the cause of votes for women. She was Mayor of Honiton eleven times.Juanita was a Poor Law Guardian, a supporter of the Townswomen's Guild, the Women's Institute and chairman of the Devon Council for Women.
