Edith was active in founding the Coventry Women's Suffrage Society (part of the larger law abiding NUWSS) alongside her sister in law (see) Marie White. The two hosted local meetings for the NUWSS leading to the formation of a provisional Coventry committee in 1909 with Edith acting as treasurer. She also held meetings for the formal inauguration of the Coventry branch at her home in 1910. Seldom absent from society meetings throughout the campaign, by 1914 Edith had become its vice president. During the First World War, she was instrumental in setting up Infant Welfare Centres across the city and was also secretary for the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) in Coventry helping run a local shop for donations.
