Edna Mosley

Edna Mosley (20 December 1899 – 19 February 1954) was one of the first female professional architects in Britain, and was known for her designs for modern, labour-saving interiors,[1] often aimed specifically at women.

[3] These were specifically designs for domestic spaces that sought to persuade women of the benefits of using electricity in the home.

[4] She also designed the refurbishment of the joint EAW and Women's Engineering Society headquarters which opened at 20 Regent Street, London in 1933.

The modernist flat comprised a small hall, a living room with a dining recess (including a fixed seat and sideboard), a kitchen, a bedroom, bathroom, toilet, and sun balcony.

[6] Edna Mosley was married to Alfred Stocken Knott, and together they designed their own house at Peaslake in Surrey in 1932.
