Jenny Mitchell was the sister of the Irish poet and literary critic Susan Mitchell (1866-1926), who lived with the Yeats family at Bedford Park, London from 1897-99. Susan Mitchell gave a fascinating insight into life in the Yeats household, writing:
'In the house of Mr. Yeats I found myself in what seemed to me a wonderful society, a society where ideas were valued above all other possessions... In the Irish men and women I met under Mr Yeats’s roof I was having my first contact with a movement that was bringing about a revolution in thinking and feeling in my own country.' (quoted in W. Murphy, Prodigal Father: The Life of John Butler Yeats, 1978, p.207)
