Biography

Janet Hunter Netta Ivory (May 22, 1863 - August 8, 1949) was the co-founder in 1902, along with the barrister, Stephen Coleridge, of the Edinburgh branch of the National Anti-Vivisection Society. This became the Scottish Cooperative Anti-Vivisection Society in 1911, and later the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Vivisection.

Ivory was the daughter of William Ivory, sheriff of Inverness-shire, and granddaughter of James Ivory (1792–1860), the Scottish judge.
