Life[edit]
Catherine Leigh Joynes was born at Eton on 8 February 1857, the daughter of Elizabeth Johanne Unger, and the Reverend James Leigh Joynes, a master at Eton.[2][3]
On 22 December 1879, she married Henry S. Salt.[2][4][3] Salt's friend, George Bernard Shaw, wrote that the marriage was never consummated, and Catherine had a number of affairs with women.[2][5] Like Salt, she was active in the Socialist and Labour movement.[3]
Edward Carpenter described her as "highly musical; and her literary gift was certainly one of the most remarkable I have known — though unfortunately, except in her letters, rarely utilized."[3][6]
Catherine died on 16 February 1919, Lyme Regis, Dorsetshire.1919.[2]
