Helen Taylor was the daughter of John and Harriet Taylor, both unitarians and friends with William Johnson Fox. Harriet Taylor later separated from her husband and married John Stuart Mill. Helen Taylor began training as an actress in 1856 and has appeared in Newcastle, Doncaster and Glasgow. After the death of her mother in 1858, she gave up her acting education and supported her stepfather John Stuart Mill as a housekeeper and secretary. She helped complete the book The Subjection of Women and worked closely with him over the next fifteen years.
She was also active in the women's rights movement and was a founding member of the Kensington Society, a discussion group of women. In 1867 she initiated a petition in the House of Commons for the Political Equality of Women together with Lydia Becker and Frances Power Cobbe, and published anonymously in the Westminster Review the article The Ladies Petition.
In 1867 she co-founded the London Society for Women's Suffrage, from which she broke up in the following year because of internal disputes. In 1870 she gave her first speech on women's suffrage.
