Born and brought up at Milverton, Royal Leamington Spa, England, she was the younger sister of the poet Agnes Mary Frances Robinson (later Duclaux). After studying at the Slade School of Art, she moved to literature and wrote a series of novels in the 1880s-1890s, largely on Irish political themes. She was also a frequent contributor to the Athenaeum, and wrote a non-fiction book Irish History for English Readers.
