'Ida' was christened Emma Cecilia Farrer, the daughter of Thomas Henry Farrer (later Lord Farrer) and his wife Frances. As a young child, she loved to read Hans Andersen's fairy tales, and identified with the main character in his story ‘Little Ida's Flowers'. She was known as "Ida" for the rest of her life. Her father knew Charles Darwin, and, being a keen botanist, was able to help Darwin with some of his experiments. Her father at first opposed her marriage to Horace Darwin, for he had 'no proper profession'.

Ida married Horace Darwin, on 3rd January, 1880 and they made their home in Cambridge. As an intelligent and socially aware young woman, she was not content to confine her activities to socialising with Dons' wives and their families. Using her twin advantages of money and social status, she aroused public awareness and fought for social and legislative reforms in mental health services. Ida dedicated her ‘working life' to the support of the more vulnerable members of the community. She was active in the Cambridge Association for the Protection of Public Morals. She conducted investigations on the care of the mentally retarded, encouraged by the Royal Commission for the Csre of the Feeble Minded in 1908. In 1912 it held a joint meeting with the Cambridge Eugenics Society.
In 1915, a son Erasmus was killed in the trenches at Ypres in 1915. In 1918, Horace Darwin was knighted and Ida became Lady Darwin. In 1966 a new wing at Fulbourn Hospital for the mentally ill of the Cambridge area was named the Ida Darwin Hospital.
