Flora Stevenson was an active supporter of the suffrage and womens rights movements. Even as a young girl, she recognised the importance of education and equality, teaching messenger girls reading, writing and arithmetic. She was an active member on several educational committees, eventually serving as chairperson on the Edinburgh School Board.
When Flora died in 1905, over two thousand schoolchildren lined the route of her funeral to the Dean Cemetery.
