In her spare time, Evans studied to become a barrister, and was called to the bar in 1925. Despite this, she remained a trade union official. Also active in the Labour Party, she stood unsuccessfully in the 1930 Paddington South by-election.[1]
In 1931, Evans left the AWCS and became secretary of the National Association of Women Civil Servants. She died in 1943, following a long illness.[2]
