Dora was a member of the Church League for Women’s Suffrage (CLWS) in 1911. Later in 1913, she became its Honorary Secretary. She regularly attended CLWS meetings and fetes and in June 1911 travelled down to London with other local women and men to join the Women’s Coronation Procession. The procession was organised by suffrage societies to rival the official Coronation procession of George V from which women were excluded. Approximately 40,000 women from around 30 women’s suffrage societies participated, and the procession was seven miles long.

The CLWS was a peaceful suffrage society and Dora wrote to the local press on several occasions eschewing militancy; emphasising to members of the Leamington public that not all suffrage campaigners were law breakers or violent!
