Aplicó descubrimientos arqueológicos del siglo XIX para interpretar conceptos religiosos griegos antiguos, estableciendo métodos que se convirtieron en estándar para la erudición futura. Como una de las primeras mujeres en seguir una carrera académica en Inglaterra, Harrison abogó por el sufragio femenino, incluso mientras expresaba reservas personales.
