Janet Livingstone (28 September 1643âÂÂ1 January 1696) was a Scottish non-conformist and Presbyterian activist.
Livingstone was born in 1643 in Scotland. She was the daughter of John Livingstone, a Scottish Presbyterian minister and refugee in Rotterdam, and his wife Janet Fleming. She had three brothers: James, William and Robert. She married a Scottish merchant named Andrew Russell.
In June 1674, she was among a deputation of women, mostly the wives and widows of Presbyterian ministers, who petitioned the Scottish Privy Council as religious toleration had ended. For her participation in the protest, she was banished from Edinburgh.
She died in 1696.
