Louisa Adelaide Nott-Bower, née Yorke (27 March 1861 – 6 September 1925) was a Welsh archer who competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London. She was born in Troedyraur, Ceredigion and died in Richmond, London.

Olympics

Nott-Bower competed at the 1908 Games in the only archery event open to women, the double National round competition. She was 47 years old that year, and took eleventh place in the event with 503 points.

Women's rights

She attended the International Council of Women meeting in Switzerland in 1920, and headed the English branch of the International Woman's Council. Late in life, she attended an international women's meeting in Washington D. C.,[1] and lectured on women's rights in the United States.[2][3]

In 1924 Lady Nott-Bower spoke at a conference on moral welfare organised by the National Council of Women. Her talk concerned "the problem of sexual offences against children, and suggested certain new lines of action in the case both of the offender and the victim".[4]

Personal life

Yorke was married to Sir Edmund Ernest Nott-Bower, a barrister, and they had a son, Reginald Ernest Nott-Bower. William Nott-Bower was her brother-in-law. Louisa died in London in 1925, age 64.[5]
