19294,https://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19294,"BLACKWELL, Miss Elizabeth ",,"Elizabeth Blackwell, who was born in Bristol, England, on February 3, 1821, became one of the first women physicians in the United States. She persisted in applying to various medical schools as her applications were rejected because she was a woman. Geneva College accepted her application though the administration thought it was a ""joke"" that a woman applied in 1847.
She advocated for herself to be treated as an equal to her male colleagues when participating in the Reproductive Anatomy class, which made the male students uncomfortable. Furthermore, by her attentive and thorough note-taking skills, Miss Blackwell proved she was able to understand the information being presented in her courses.
During her Spring and Summer breaks from medical school, Elizabeth observed how the poorest of the poor and the insane were treated at the Blockney Almshouse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the male physicians wanted nothing to do with her because she was a woman.
Miss Blackwell wrote her thesis, ""Ship Fever,"" (Typhus) based upon the Irish Immigrants who were severely ill on the ships coming from Ireland to America. It was published in the Buffalo Medical Journal in February 1849, and Miss Blackwell graduated with her medical degree a few months later.
Elizabeth developed the first hospital dedicated to women, The New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, in 1853. This endeavor was supported by donations and successful fundraising, after Elizabeth was denied the opportunity to rent office space for her medical practice due to her gender. Her sister, Emily Blackwell, the third woman physician in the United States, worked alongside Elizabeth. They were accompanied in their work by female medical students and two female nurses.
In 1855, she adopted a seven year old girl, Katherine, known as ""Kitty,"" from the Randall's Island Orphanage. Elizabeth felt that her ""little orphan"" Kitty lifted her spirits after she had felt lonely and isolated living in New York. Kitty was also Elizabeth's secretary as she conducted the detailed correspondence with her mother that became part of the Elizabeth Blackwell Papers.
Miss Blackwell's dream to open a Women's Medical College of the New York Infirmary became a reality in 1868, as the New York State Legislature granted her a charter to do so. Miss Blackwell believed firmly that it was one thing to open a poor college with charity, but more important to open a great college for women medical students that would provide professional skills, hospital practice, and the introduction of hygiene. At the college, female medical students engaged in a progressive succession of studies, the first of its kind for medical training for women.
Miss Blackwell retired from her medical practice. She spent the rest of her later years in Hastings, England, as a consultant and advocate for women in medicine.
Elizabeth died on May 31, 1910.",,,,,"Miller, Robbin^^McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-287879.35286005 6700769.9099054)|POINT(-15152.035976503 6711776.8419769)|POINT(63170.454546634 6598484.4156836)|POINT(-8232525.3567974 4980442.5730471)|7|-300856.1432885|6624338.6183839|osm

19292,https://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19292,"LAZARUS, Miss Emma ",,"Emma Lazarus was born in New York, New York on July 22, 1849 and died there on November 19, 1887.
Emma was inspired and mentored by Ralph Waldo Emerson. In 1868, she mailed her book to Ralph Waldo Emerson which resulted in a mentor-mentee relationship. For a few years, Emma asked him for feedback on her poems, and Emerson gladly provided critiques and praise. A rift occurred in their relationship in 1873, as Ralph Waldo Emerson did not publish her work in his anthology, Parnassus. Emma never found out why he did not her print her work, since he never responded to her letters.
Miss Lazarus volunteered at the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) after visiting Russian Jewish Immigrants living in squalor at Ward Island. These immigrants had left Russia due to the Czar’s ongoing pogroms and other antisemitic acts. The HIAS, which was formed in 1881, provided meals, transportation, and employment counseling.
That same year, Emma wrote several poems for a broad range of audiences concerning the antisemitism occurring in Eastern Europe, particularly Russia. Her poems, ""The Banner of the Jew,"" ""The Exile,"" and ""The Death of Death"" (she dedicated this to ""George Eliot,"" for her inspiration and dream of a Jewish nation), portrayed the tragic suffering and degradation of her people (Jews). Emma was an early proponent of what became the Zionist movement. Her views are illustrated in her “Epistle for Hebrews.""
Emma wrote""The New Colossus,"" a sonnet, in 1883 as part of fundraiser for the Statue of Liberty's pedestal. She wanted others to know that this poem voiced support for the immigrants coming to the shores of New York City. Unfortunately, Emma did not live to see the fruit of her labor. It was 1886 by the time sufficient money was raised to erect the statue in New York Harbor, and Emma passed in November of 1887, before its completion. To honor Miss Lazarus's work, her friend, Georgina Schuyler, had Emma's poem engraved on a plaque which was mounted on the statue's pedestal..
Her volunteer efforts and ideas also led to the creation of the Hebrew Technical Institute, which was formed in 1884 in New York City. This non-sectarian facility provided training in vocational skills for students ages 14-17. Later, it became known as the first technical high school in America.
In 1944, The Emma Lazarus Federation of Women’s Clubs was founded by the Women’s Division of the Jewish People’s Fraternal Order of the International Workers Order. Its mission was three-fold: to provide relief to wartime victims, to combat racism and antisemitism, and to foster Jewish identification through its educational programs and women’s rights.
To honor Miss Lazarus's accomplishments as a famous poet, Ruth Hollander, a senior from Tucson High School, was elected president of the newly formed Emma Lazarus B'nai B'rith Women’s Group in March, 1951.

A writer from an early age, Clara attended private schools. She married Morgan Bates, a newspaperman, in 1876 and the couple moved to Chicago, Illinois.
A well-known writer of juvenile literature, Clara published several books under the imprint of Boston's D. Lothrop & Company. From its beginnings in 1875, she was a frequent contributor to Wide Awake, a children's periodical that was published by that firm. Her sister, Charlotte Doty Finley, was the illustrator for Clara's poem ""Silver Locks and the Bears"" in the December 1875 volume. Clara's poems also appeared in Babyland,Harper's Young People, St. Nicholas, and Youth's Companion, and Farm, Field, and Firesode.
In addiiton to publishing her own work and contributing to periodicals, Clara contributed ""LIT-TLE TO-TOTE"" to an edited volume, Baby World: Stories, Rhymes, and Pictures for Little Folks. (Century, 1884).
While living in Chicago, Clara was vice-president of the Fortnightly women's literary club. She also was very involved with the Woman's Branch of the World's Congress Auxiliary. During the early 1890s, Clara was a contributor to A Woman of the Century. She was very involed with the Columbian Exposition and arranged the children's library with Alice L. Williams. In July of 1893, she spoke at the Educational Congress in Chicago.
She passed away in Chicago on October 14, 1895, at age fifty-six, and was buried in Ann Arbor's Forest Hills Cemetery. Clara's friend Elia W. Peattie wrote a lengthy obituary that was published in The Omaha Nebraska-Herald and reprinted in The Hartford Herald (Hartford, KY) on February 12, 1896.

19288,https://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19288,"PERRY, Miss Nora",,"Nora Perry was a New England poet, newspaper correspondent, and author. Her poems “Tying her Bonnet under her Chin” and “After the Ball” shot her to literary fame and were reprinted in newspapers across the country. Her early success led her to write society pieces for The Chicago Tribune and The Providence Journal in her later years.
Born in Dudley, Massachusetts in 1831, Miss Perry was the youngest of three children. Her family relocated to Providence, Rhode Island while she was still a child. An avid writer even in her youth, Miss Perry eventually became a part of Sarah Helen Whitman’s literary circle in Providence. Nora would wake early in the morning and write until noon at an old-fashioned table that she called her “shop” in her living room, where she kept her collection of chromolithographs wherever there was space to put them. Occasionally, she would write another hour or two in the afternoon, but almost never wrote in the evening. Around the time that she became a professional writer, Nora destroyed all of her writings from her adolescence.
Nora continued to write lyrical poetry throughout her life, but she also wrote short stories for adolescent readers. It was a natural progression for her to write from the point of view of a young person, as Miss Perry was often described as “vivacious with an intense personality and wit”. As Nora wrote:
“I have too much youth for the rest of the world at my age. Life never seems old to me, always fresh.”
Her young adult stories were intended to inspire higher ideals in its readers. That was the power of literature to Miss Perry:
“Nothing is so practical as the ideal which is ever at hand to uphold and better the real.”
Nora was not a religious person. She had no qualms about declaring her agnosticism or, as she referred to it, “the agnosticism of don’t know.” Instead of following religious doctrine, she believed in a “practical service to humanity,” which she practiced in part by encouraging young writers in their craft. Though not religious, Nora did believe in the supernatural. She possessed a moonstone talisman that she felt helped in her literary success and brought her good luck.
Though she was never married, Nora preferred male companionship, as she enjoyed their point of view and way of thinking. She developed intimate friendships with John Greenleaf Whittier, Wendell Phillips, and George William Curtis to name just a few. Yet, she also maintained many female friends as well. Harriet Prescott Spofford was one such friend and sister-poet, who wrote of her friend’s poetic style:
“Nora Perry writes in verse because she cannot help it. The music bubbles up in her as the water gushes in a spring, and whenever she has allowed art to clear the way the result is a ‘well of English undefiled.’”
Miss Perry adored her hair, which was often described as a reddish-golden blonde and pale blonde in her later years. It pleased her when people admired it. In fact, hair descriptions often found their way into her writing.
In her later years, Miss Perry was struck with what was referred to as “author’s cramp” or “writer’s cramp,” which affected her ability to write. The pain was so great, she nearly lost the use of her right hand and taught herself to write left-handed so she could rest her dominant one.
Nora Perry passed away on May 13, 1896 of an aneurysm while visiting Dudley, Massachusetts. As Caroline Ticknor wrote in The Lamp:
“To the friends who had loved her, and would gladly have ministered to her in her last hours, it was a deep grief that she should have died alone in a boarding-house. And yet her solitary passing seemed somehow in harmony with her own independent, self-contained mode of living.”
Miss Perry was buried at Swan Point Cemetery in Providence, Rhode Island.",,,,,"Chaisson, Jackie^^McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-7949833.125693 5134390.6954581)|POINT(-8008078.141238254 5167564.3657293115)|POINT(-7910238.7450468 5214802.449203)|POINT(-7928583.6318327 5228102.4921227)|10|-8006472.9636445|5163372.2724599|osm

That same month, some of her poetry was published in Fetter's Southern Magazine. Three years later, the November 1895 volume of Peterson's Magazine included a sketch of Lollie Belle and some of her poetry. Her ""The Secret of Matanzas Bay"" was included in The Illustrator in October of 1896.
The next year, Lollie Belle became the editor of The Butterfly, an Atlanta society magazine. In 1898, Franklin Printing and Publishing Company of Atlanta published The Memoirs of Judge Richard H. Clark, a book that Lollie Belle had edited. By 1903, she was writing book reviews for The Savannah Morning News, including one for Myrta Lockett Avary's A Virginia Girl in the Civil War.

She was the daughter of author and Maine historian William Goold. Her family had long-established roots in Maine and resided in Windham for several generations.
Abba received an education from the Portland public schools and attended the Girls' High School. She graduated from the Girls' High School as valedictorian in 1856. This year would prove to be exciting for Abba as it was also the year she married her high school principal, Professor Moses Woolson, and was first published in New York's Home Journal.
While living in Portland, Maine, Abba went on to start a successful and robust career as an author. She penned a series of popular poems for the Portland Transcript, a publication she contributed to for four years. Through the course of her writing career, she published dozens of essays, lectures, poems, and collections. In 1874, Abba edited and contributed to ""Dress Reform,"" a series of lectures by women physicians of Boston on ""Dress as It Effects the Health of Women."" The lectures were originally delivered in the prior year as part of a dress-reform series sponsored by the New England Women’s Club. In this work, Abba amplified the voices of physicians speaking out against impractical dress.
Through her work as a teacher, she passed down her writing skills and wisdom. Abba was a teacher at the Mt. Auburn Girls' School and the Concord High School. Her talent as a poet led to several speaking engagements, including Portland's celebration of the Maine Centennial and the dedication of the Fowler Library in Concord, New Hampshire. Being one of New England's premier writers, it's no surprise that Abba served in many literary groups and societies. Her most notable commitments were serving as president of the Castilian Club and the Massachusetts Society for the University Education of Women.
Aside from her devotion to writing, teaching, and reform, Abba traveled extensively. Her travels included visiting the West Coast of the United States, Europe, and Morocco.
Abba passed away on February 6, 1921, at the age of 82.",,,,,"Del Vecchio, Lauren^^McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-7838034.9481883 5432773.0643987)|POINT(-7823442.3813747 5411040.9298555)|POINT(-7911497.837947 5214139.1450203)|13|-7838158.6273846|5432723.5660984|osm

19178,https://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19178,"DALL, Mrs. Caroline Wells",,"Caroline Wells Dall was born in Boston, Massachusetts on June 22, 1822. Her parents, Mark Healey and Caroline Foster, provided her with an exclusive education, consisting of private tutoring and private schooling, until she was 15 years old. From 1837 to 1842, she administered a nursery in the North End of Boston. In 1842, Caroline began teaching at Georgetown Female Seminary, where she met Unitarian minister Charles Dall, whom she would marry in 1844.
Once married, Caroline was increasingly involved in women’s suffrage causes. A gifted and prolific writer, reformer, and activist, she became a staunch advocate for women’s rights. Caroline and Charles lived in Toronto in the early 1850s. By 1855, Charles Dall had traveled alone to India to work as a Unitarian missionary, returning only once to America before his death in 1886.
For many years, Caroline was actively involved in the Boston women’s rights movement. One of her many important books, The College, the Market, and the Court (1867), based on a series of lectures she gave in Boston in 1861-1862, is a collection of essays about women’s rights, education, economic advancement, and protection under the law.
Her other publications include Historical Pictures Retouched: a Volume of Miscellanies (1859), in which she discusses lesser-known important women from history, Essays and Sketches (1849), and Women's Rights Under the Law: In Three Lectures, Delivered in Boston, January, 1861 (1862).
In 1865, Dall helped found the American Social Science Association. Along with suffragist Paulina Davis, Caroline Dall founded both the New England Women’s Rights Convention and Una, a journal devoted to advocating for women’s rights. Because of these activities, she is often associated with fellow activist, Transcendentalist, and journalist Margaret Fuller regarding their advocacy for the advancement of women.
Later in life, Caroline distanced herself from the women’s rights movement and published such eclectic and diverse works as Egypt (Egypt's Place in History 1868), the Civil War (Patty Gray's Journey, three volumes for children, 1869–70), and What We Really Know About Shakespeare (1885), The Life of Dr. Anandabai Joshee (1888), Margaret and Her Friends: Ten Conversations with Margaret Fuller (1895), and Transcendentalism in New England (1897). In her 70s, she continued lecturing and giving sermons at the Unitarian Church.
After several years of suffering from arthritis, Caroline died of pneumonia on December 17, 1912, at the age of 90.

19177,https://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19177,"SEDGWICK, Miss Catharine Maria",,"Born in Stockbridge, MA, Catharine Maria Sedgwick was the sixth of the seven surviving children of Theodore Sedgwick and Pamela Dwight Sedgwick. Catharine’s mother was ill for most of her childhood and died when Catharine was seventeen. A year later, her father remarried Penelope Russell. For most of Catharine’s childhood, her father was away from home for more than half of each year pursuing a political career with six terms in the Continental Congress, U.S. House of Representatives, Speaker of the House, Senator from Massachusetts, and a Massachusetts Supreme Court Justice, and then passed away in 1813 when Catharine was twenty-three.
Although Catharine did not go to college, she considered herself to have been raised in a highly intellectual home:
""I was reared in an atmosphere of high intelligence. My father had uncommon mental vigor. So had my brothers. Their daily habits, and pursuits, and pleasures were intellectual, and I naturally imbibed from them a kindred taste"" (Life and Letters of Catharine M. Sedgwick: 46-47).
When she was ten, Catharine could be found during her school lunch hour under her desk munching and reading Rollins’s Ancient History. While her four brothers followed in their father’s footsteps and became lawyers, they encouraged Catharine to pursue her writing, and she published her first book at age thirty-three.
Professionally, Catharine went on to become a successful and prolific author on a wide variety of topics in six novels, over one-hundred short stories and sketches, as well as domestic novellas, advice manuals, biographies, religious tracts, travelogues, and children’s books. She is considered to be one of the founders of American literature and enjoyed national and international renown during her lifetime. It is noteworthy that Catharine and Martha Washington were the only women selected for inclusion in the first volume of the National Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Americans.
The indefatigable Catharine continued to write for forty years publishing her last piece at the age of seventy-two. Catharine also taught at her sister-in-law’s Young Ladies’ School in Lenox, MA and various Sunday schools, including the Isaac T. Hopper Home. In her later years, she volunteered for the Female Department of the New York Prison Association (becoming president from 1848 to 1863), which led to her opening the Home for Discharged Female Convicts.
Personally, Catharine chose to become a member of her siblings’ households instead of marrying various suitors. For most of her life, she lived and worked in New York City and Stockbridge/Lenox, MA and traveled throughout North America and Europe. She also participated in the Berkshire’s literary society and received visits from authors, politicians, activists, and renowned international figures.
Catharine passed away in 1867 at the home of her niece in West Roxbury at the age of seventy-seven. She was remembered as a “true and beautiful soul, a clear and refined intellect, and a singularly sympathetic social nature” (Life and Letters of Catharine M. Sedgwick: 10) with “clear good sense, and graced by a charm of style of which she was the master during her whole life”:
""Her unerring sense of rectitude, her love of truth, her ready sympathy, her active and cheerful beneficence, her winning and gracious manners, the perfection of high breeding, make up a character, the idea of which, as it rests on my mind, I would not exchange for any thing in her own interesting works of fiction"" (Life and Letters of Catharine M. Sedgwick: 446).
Catharine was buried in the family plot in Stockbridge next to her beloved nurse, Elizabeth (“Mum-Bett”) Freeman. (Massachusetts Historical Society Collections Online: Witness to America’s Past Description; Sedgwick Pie). Mum-Bett had been the first freed slave in Massachusetts who thereafter earned a living by working in the home of her attorney, Catharine’s father, and became an important mother figure to the family before her father remarried in 1808 (Massachusetts Historical Society Collections Online: Witness to America’s Past Description; Lucinda L. Damon-Bach & Victoria Clements, Catharine Maria Sedgwick: Critical Perspectives at xxiii and xxxiv (2003)).
Catharine had used her gift with words to memorialized Mum-Bett’s noble life in her article “Slavery in New England” in 1853 (Miss Sedgewick [sic], “Slavery in New England,” in XXXIV Bentley’s Miscellany at 417, 424 (1853)). Five years after Catharine’s death, Harper & Brothers would do the same for Catharine by publishing a book entitled the Life and Letters of Catharine M. Sedgwick, which was edited by her life-long neighbor, Mary E. Dewey.

19176,https://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19176,"GILES, Miss Ella A.","Women poets, American","Ella A. Giles was born near Madison, Wisconsin, on February 2, 1851. Growing up in the home of a father who was a philanthropist and a mother who fostered Ella’s love of art and literature, she pursued interests in those areas throughout her life. As her A Woman of the Century profile notes, “She early showed musical talent. Her fine voice was carefully cultivated by Hans Balatka. She was quite distinguished as an oratorio and church singer when her health failed and she was compelled to abandon what promised to be a successful career in music.” (320)
Although her dream was not to be, the resilient Ella was determined to make her mark. Turning to literary pursuits, she wrote Bachelor Ben, her first novel, which was published in 1875 by Madison publishers Atwood & Culver and Chicago publishers Janson, McClurg & Co. It was reviewed by numerous periodicals, including Literary World (August 1, 1875) and Saturday Review (September 25, 1875) and sold one thousand volumes in just sixty days. (Los Angeles Herald) The next year, she published Out from the Shadows, which was reviewed by The Independent on June 15, 1876, and by several other periodicals. In 1879, Ella's newest book, Maiden Rachel, appeared on the shelves of bookstores and libraries. Like her earlier work, it was reviewed by The Independent (August 7, 1879), Literary World (July 5, 1879), and other periodicals. Madison readers would have had an opportunity to meet the author, as Ella became a librarian at the Madison Public Library that year. She remained at the library for five years while giving public talks, writing, and publicizing other writers. On May 21, 1882, Ella penned “The West’s Literature” for a Wisconsin newspaper, promoting the growing literature of her section of the country.
In 1884, while caring for her father, Ella wrote poetry and social science articles. She published Flowers of the Spirit, a volume of her poetry, in 1891. As one of the leaders of the Contemporary Club, she also hosted literary gatherings on topics such as Browning, Emerson, and political economy. (“Unitarian Church Became Established Here in 1869” - Los Angeles Herald ) As “Old Days on West Wilson Street,” a 1922 Capital Times article, recalled, ""One of the most attractive of the literary salons of Wisconsin was modestly but most delightfully held at Miss Giles’ [sic] home during her life in Madison. Her friend, Miss Zona Gale, was often a sharer in the pleasures of the gatherings, and a member of the home circle for several winters while a student at the university.” Ella also fought for women’s rights as a member of The Association for the Advancement of Women. (Los Angeles Herald)
Although she lived in Wisconsin, Ella traveled frequently. One of those trips was to Yellowstone National Park with the Wisconsin Press Association. Stella A. Gaines Fifield, a Wisconsin journalist who is in A Woman of the Century, and her husband were in the same Pullman sleeper car as Ella during this Northern Pacific Railroad excursion. Ella spent winters in warmer climates.
After her father passed away in May of 1895, Ella decided to make Los Angeles her home. The Los Angeles Herald celebrated Ella’s entrance into the city with a lengthy laudatory article on September 29th. It concluded with praise from the newspaper and a friend: “Miss Giles possesses the rare quality of magnetism and unconsciously draws people about her. As a friend said of her, she has no sullen brow, no sarcastic smile and no bitter word for a sister’s success; but her cheerful ‘she deserves it all’ is as ready as her warm hand.”
Ella married journalist George Drake Ruddy in 1896. While in Los Angeles, she expanded her social network, getting to know author Hattie Tyng Griswold, Caroline Severance, and numerous others.
By 1902, Ella and George were living at Mission Cottage on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. She was President of the California Badger Club of Los Angeles and wrote Club Etiquette: A Conversation between a Club Woman and a Non-member Who Answer the Calling Question over the Tea-Cups.
During the Summer of 1904, Ella traveled from California to Short Beach, Connecticut to visit Ella Wheeler Wilcox, her long-time friend and fellow poet, at her spectacular warm-weather home. While on the way, Ella stopped in Boston to visit the homes of Longfellow and Lowell, as well as in Concord to see where Emerson, Hawthorne, and the Alcotts had lived. The two Wisconsin natives collaborated on a book, Around the Year, which was published that year. The next year, Ella wrote the ""Description of Mrs. Wilcox's Home and Life"" for her friend's autobiography, The Story of A Literary Career. She continued to write poetry, publishing Lace O' Me Life in 1916.
Ella passed away in Los Angeles on June 26, 1917. She is buried in Madison’s Forest Hill Cemetery.

During her childhood, Allie's family moved to Grand City, Nebraska, then to Loup City, Nebraska. An avid learner, she dedicated herself to her studies. Interested in a career in business, Allie studied the field and became affiliated with a printing office. On August 30, 1880, she began her five-year career as the U.S. postmaster for Loup City.
Allie married Osmond Willard in 1881, after a long courtship, and became the mother of five children. Somehow, she also found time to work with Osmond on his newspaper, The Loup City Times, writing editorials and articles.
After Osmond was assassinated by a rival publisher in May of 1887, due to his paper's opposition to a political ring, Allie became editor of The Loup City Times. Since she had been working closely with Osmond and had gained a wide professional network by attending conventions with him, Allie was well prepared to succeed her husband. She boosted her business acumen by attending business college and briefly served as a clerk in the Nebraska Senate. Allie was a member of the Nebraska Press Association and became affiliated with the Western Newspaper Union in 1889.
In addition, Allie was active with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, advocated for other reforms, and participated in philanthropic work.
After meeting many people during her travels abroad, Allie became associated with The London Signal, owned by Lady Henry Somerset, in 1895.
By 1900, Allie was living in Washington, D.C. and working as a librarian. Ten years later, she was living in Chicago, Illinois, and working as a stenographer in the railroad industry.
Her ""Our Own Lady"" was published in 1931. As Allie wrote in the introduction, it was a ""little book of biography, history and poetry about (Mrs.) Bertha Baur, because she is our own lady."" Bertha Elizabeth Duppler Baur was a successful businesswoman, political activist, and suffrage advocate who was living in Chicago at the time.

She began her writing career by contributing to newspapers. Lepha married Lewis Bailey in 1873 and started a family. They lived in Battle Creek for many years.
Lepha edited Our Age and was a contributor to Grange Visitor. She was a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Sovereigns of Industry, Independent Order of Good Templars, Grangers, National Prohibition Alliance, and the Prohibition Party.
Beginning in the 1880s, Lepha spoke around the United States on temperance. In January of 1901, when she was living in New York City and was scheduled to speak in Johnson City, Tennessee, that city's The Comet described Lepha as the National Organizer for the W.C.T.U., praised her achievements, mentioned her work with Frances Willard, and listed positive comments from other newspapers. The article finished by noting, ""If you fail to hear this noted speaker you will miss a rare opportunity."" Later that year, Rev. C. E. Scudder praised her work in Pennsylvania at length in The Pike County Press. Scudder wrote:
""One could hardly conceive how a human being could put forth such untiring efforts, speaking in colleges and public schools, and holding ladies' parlor meetings during the day, traveling and speaking to crowded houses, frequently so full that standing room was impossible. Yet her brain never seemed to weary while dwelling upon the all absorbing theme, the crushing out of the liquor traffic. Her clearness of thought as regards methods, her kindly, though energetic, forcible language, so convincing, won many, to action and duty. May God send more such lecturers into the whitened field.""
When Lepha and her daughter Viola visited her son Victor and his family in Caribou, Minnesota during the first decade of the twentieth century, she learned that the area lacked a church and Sunday school. Lepha purchased land to summer there, and church services were held on her property. Eventually, she had a church built on the property.
By 1920, Lepha was living with her daughter Viola in Lake Worth, Palm Beach, Florida.

In December of 1841, Lydia began teaching at Mason Street Public School in Salem, and by 1860, she was serving as principal. She continued in this capacity until the end of the 1871-1872 academic year, The next school year, she became principal of Dunlap Street School.
While busy with her career in education, Lydia also found time to create paintings and clay models, to write poetry and prose, and to design and illustrate books. Her design for the book “Red Riding Hood,” in the shape of the main character, was innovative and very popular.
An advocate of corporal punishment for children, Lydia wrote to Charles Brown Lore, Chief Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court, in the Spring of 1901 to support his views on this issue. She passed away later that year, on September 10, 1901 and was buried in Old South Cemetery in Peabody, Massachusetts.

223,https://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/223,"McCULLOCH, Mrs. Catharine Waugh",,"Catharine Waugh McCulloch was born in Ransomville, New York, on June 4, 1862. She graduated from Rockford Female Seminary, earning both a bachelor's degree and master's degree, and attended Union College of Law.
A temperance advocate from an early age, Catharine was a member of the Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Also passionate about suffrage, she passed out a pro-suffrage speech to counter the anti-suffrage speech that her town's Presbyterian minister was giving.
Catharine practiced law with Frank Hathorn McCulloch, a law school classmate whom she married on May 30, 1890, in Winnebago, Illinois. Their firm was known as McCulloch & McCulloch.
Catharine spoke at many events in support of suffrage. At the Cleveland convention in 1896, she and Julia Holmes Smith each presented an argument for the Democratic Party supporting suffrage.
One milestone in Catharine's legal career was on February 21, 1898, when she was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court.
By 1900, Catharine was listed as a lawyer living at 2236 Orrington Avenue in Evanston with her husband and her children, Hugh and Hathorn.
Catharine and Frank filed an argument and brief in Chicago in support of municipal suffrage for women in late May of 1906. The next year, when Catharine was elected justice of the peace for Evanston, and the first female justice of the peace in the country, she changed the marriage contract to omit the wording that a woman must obey her husband.
The McCullochs took a four-month trip to Europe during the summer of 1908 and visited several countries. By this time, their family had had expanded to include two younger children, Catharine and Frank.
Catharine spoke before the Society of Anthropology in 1909, making an argument that ""woman was the originator of most of the good things in the world."" After praising women from Eve on, she asked her audience to vote on woman suffrage and got a positive result.
Catharine was the legal advisor for the National American Woman Suffrage Association, while also serving as an auditor, and later the Vice-President. At the time of the 1912 Presidential campaign, Catharine insisted that the Republican Party would suffer the wrath of the suffragists if suffrage was not included in the platform.
Later that year, she placed an ad in the Rock Island Argus that she would pay one dollar for every one hundred signatures collected in support of Illinois suffrage. While she toiled mightily for suffrage, Catharine was quite vocal in her opposition to the ""militant methods"" of British suffrage leader Emmeline Pankhurst. Her efforts were successful and Illinois women gained suffrage in 1913.
Catharine was overjoyed when the Illinois Democratic state convention selected her as a 1916 delegate for Woodrow Wison, commenting, ""The Democratic party has, indeed, put itself out to honor womanhood."" She continued her efforts for suffrage for Illinois women in February of 1917, arguing for an amendment, against Grace Wilbur Trout, who believed that a convention alone would suffice. Unfortunately for Catharine, the constitutional convention route was chosen by the time September came. According to Free-Trader Journal, Catharine wanted to unify women in the state, so she agreed to support the constitutional convention. Catharine continued to speak in Iowa and other states in support of suffrage.
Once the League of Women Voters was founded in 1919, Catharine was involved with this organization. By 1922, she was the chair of the committee on uniform laws. According to Washington D.C.'s Evening Star, this committee advocated for several issues related to marriage and motherhood.
A 1926 article by Lillian Campbell celebrated Catharine's forty years of having success in her law practice. After mentioning some of her professional accomplishments, it notes, ""She is the mother of four children, all university graduates, and two of her sons practice law with their father and mother.""
Catharine continued being active in the Democratic Party, speaking at the conventions of the National Woman's Democratic Law Enforcement League in 1929 and 1931, and serving as its Second Vice President from 1929 until at least 1932. She also served her country as a member of the Committee on Cultural Relations with Latin America.
During her long career, in addition to her work in the field of law and her suffrage work, Catharine found time to advocate for temperance, to serve as legal advisor to the W.C.T.U., to write books and plays., and to participate in numerous organizations in the Chicago area.
Catharine passed away in Evanston on April 20, 1945, and was buried three days later in Chicago's Graceland Cemetery.

She attended Ripley Female College (now Green Mountain College) in Poultney, VT, graduated in 1866 and moved back to NY to live with her extended family. Eventually, she got married to Charles Rohlfs, an actor and stove designer who later became an internationally acclaimed furniture designer on November 25, 1884. Mrs. Rohlfs and her husband raised three children; a daughter, Rosamund, and two sons, Sterling and Roland in Buffalo, NY.
Anna became a popular author and novelist. Her early poetic ambitions were bolstered by a meeting with Ralph Waldo Emerson. She was one of the first writers in the detective fiction genre, and Edgar Allan Poe, Wilkie Collins, and Metta Victor were virtually her only predecessors in the writing of such fiction. Anna had the advantage of her father, James Wilson Green's career having a major influence on her as he was an attorney who practiced in New York and was involved in many criminal cases. Her most famous detective novels include her first novel, which has been regarded as the first American detective novel, The Leavenworth Case (1878) and Marked ""Personal"" (1893). Other popular works of hers include, The Defense of the Bride and other poems, Risifi’s Daughter The Sword of Damocles"" (1881), ""Hand and Ring"" (1883), ""X. Y. Z."" (1883), ""A Strange Disappearance ""(1885), ""The Mill Mystery"" (1886), ""7 to 12"" (1887), ""Behind Closed Doors"" (1888). ""The Forsaken Inn"" (1890). ""A Matter of Millions"" (1890), ""The Old Stone House"" (1891), ""Cynthia Wakeham's Money"" (1892).
She passed away on April 11, 1935 at her home in Buffalo.

The daughter of Methodist Episcopal minister and evangelist Rev. William Butler and evangelist Clementina Rowe Butler, Clementina moved quite often during her childhood. After leaving India, the Butlers moved to Mexico City, Mexico. They returned to Newton Center, MA in 1866.
Not surprisingly, Clementina became an evangelist, too. In addition to founding the Committee on Christian Literature for Women and Children in Mission Fields, she was a member of the American Ramabi Association and the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society.
After her father's death, Clementina wrote William Butler The Founder of Two Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. By His Daughter, which was published in 1902.
Clementina moved to Providence, RI in January of 1916 and soon embarked on missionary trips to Cuba, Panama, and Mexico for conferences and missionary work.
After Ramabi's death in 1922, Clementina, who was Chairman of the Executive Committee of the American Ramabi Association, wrote Pandita Ramabai Sarasvati; Pioneer in the Movement for the Education of the Child-widow of India.
While living at 84 Sycamore Avenue in West Barrington, RI in March of 1932, seventy-year-old Clementina took a trip to Bombay, India.
In 1934, she traveled to Maryland to give talks about her work. On April 13, The Midland Journal of Rising Sun MD discussed her recent talk at the Methodist Episcopal church. Speaking about Clementina, it noted: ""Miss Butler is a forceful speaker and her extensive travel and knowledge of affairs enable her to give facts in an interesting manner. Her recent work has been in Mexico.""
Clementina's mother was one of the founders of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Boston's Tremont Street Methodist Episcopal Church in 1869. During the 1940s, Clementina paid for new windows at the church to honor the founders and the first two missionaries.

After she was educated at a convent in Michigan, Helen returned to Maine and became a teacher. By 1888, Helen was teaching at her own private school in Bar Harbor, Maine.
Desiring to become a journalist, she changed her career course. Helen moved to Boston, Massachusetts, and became a reporter for the Bar Harbor Record, as the Boston correspondent, and Boston's Saturday Evening Gazette. She was an early member of the New England Woman's Press Association, serving as the recording secretary until April of 1891. (Lord, 54) At that time, she returned to Maine to become managing editor of the Bar Harbor Record, but her tenure there came to an end when the new owner fired her. She moved back to Boston and wrote for the Boston Home Journal (Vandenberg and Shettleworth). Helen was a determined journalist. As the Savannah Courier of January 14, 1892, noted: ""MISS HELEN SMITH, who edited the Bar Harbor Record last summer, is said to be the only editor who succeeded in procuring an interview with Mr. Blaine"" (1).
In 1893, Helen returned to Sullivan Harbor, bought the Bar Harbor Record, and became managing editor of the newspaper (Vandenberg and Shettleworth). In addition, she was manager of the Bar Harbor Press Co., a job printing establishment tied to the Bar Harbor Record. By 1897, Helen was catering to, and making a profit off of, the many wealthy people who flocked to the area during the warm weather by issuing semi-weekly editions of The Society Journal of Mt. Desert Island. Helen retired from the Bar Harbor Record in November of 1904 (Maine Press Association Report, 33). She became publisher of Bar Harbor Life in 1918, continuing in this position for several years. While spending the winter in Boston in 1923, Helen wrote “Jottings from Boston” for The Bangor News. Later that year, she was run over while in Boston and suffered serious injuries. Helen passed away on December 16, 1923, and was buried in Sullivan Harbor’s York Hill Cemetery.

189,https://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/189,"FEARING, Miss Lillian Blanche","Blind authors^^Blind lawyers^^Blind poets","Author and lawyer Lillian Blanche Fearing was born in Davenport, Iowa, on November 27, 1863. Despite being blind from birth, Lillian achieved much during her lifetime. Lillian's obituary in the Rock Island Argus notes, in part:
""At the age of 8 she published her first poem, and by the time she was 12 years old her verses were appearing regularly in the Boston Transcript. Personal letters commending her work were sent her by Oliver Wendell Holmes, John G. Whittier, and Edmund Clarence Stedman.""
When she was taking courses at Union College of Law in Chicago, Lillian's mother ""was her constant companion and read books to her"" (The Comet). When she graduated, Lillian was the only woman in her class and one of four scholarship recipients (Watertown Republican).
Well regarded by her peers, Lillian was one of the people feated in literary critic William Morton Payne's ""Literary Chicago"" in the February 1893 edition of New England Magazine. The article mentioned many men and women, including Eliza Allen Starr, Olive Thorne Miller, Amanda T. Jones, Harriet Monroe, and Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Payne praised Fearing's work as ""remarkable"" and, speaking of her poem ""In The City By The Lake,"" he noted: ""A note of song stronger and more sustained has hardly been sounded by any other American woman"" (696). Readers of New England Magazine would have known of Lillian, since she had published ""The Bivouac of Sherman's Army"" in that periodical's August 1890 issue.
In 1894, Lillian wrote a piece for Chicago Woman's Times about the need for a different title than Miss for adult single women. She noted that males are called master and then Mr., but that females are addressed as Miss until they are married. She was perturbed that it took marriage to allow a woman to have a mature adult title. Lillian's words were reprinted in the March 10, 1894 edition of The Caldwell Tribune (Idaho Territory), giving her thoughts an even larger audience.
Throughout her life, Lillian received praise in the press for her work as a lawyer, her writing, and her phenomenal work ethic. The Irish Standard's characterization of her serves as a fine example of the admiration Lillian's contemporaries had for her:
""Miss Blanche Fearing is a graduate of the Chicago Law School and surely finding her way to a successful legal career. She is a poet, also, but her verses do not begin with 'whereases' or 'know all men,' etc., but are marked by the true poetic quality. Miss Fearing's profession means a livelihood to her. Her literary work is the overflow of her life. When it is known that Miss Fearing is entirely blind, the courage, enthusiasm, and perseverance that her work in these two lines exhibits fill one with admiration for the beauty and strength of character that so triumph over untoward circumstances and make life so noble, useful and sweet.""
She was very fortunate to have a supportive family. According to the Republican News Item, Lillian's mother and sister played the crucial role of reading legal documents to her.
Lillian's image and a discussion about her were included in ""Women Lawyers of America,"" a lengthy December 13, 1896, article in The San Francisco Call. Others noted included local lawyer Clara Shortridge Foltz, Myra Bradwell, Ellen A. Martin, Kate Pier, Ada Miser Kepley, Ella Humphrey Haddock, and Cornelia Hood.
On March 21, 1900, The Western News dedicated an article, ""Blind From Infancy: This Girl is Now Widely Known as a Writer and Lawyer."" While the use of the word ""girl"" must not have pleased Lillian, she must have been happy to hear that the paper had written about her and called her ""a dual success in her dual professions of author and lawyer.""
Unfortunately, Lillian passed away in Eureka Heights, Illinois, later that year. When she died on August 13, 1900, this courageous woman was just thirty-six years old.",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-10083419.298756 5089212.828762)|POINT(-10243631.310019 5185829.232501)|POINT(-9760643.0461167 5137890.0781587)|POINT(-9937750.0292861 4970925.3331785)|7|-10083591.8792340|5093924.4549579|osm

Her family moved to Grafton, Massachusetts when she was less than two years old. Mary Agnes began writing for local papers at age eleven and was editor of The Grafton Herald when she was just sixteen.
After graduating from high school, she taught in the public schools of Grafton and Sutton, Massachusetts for many years Mary Agnes also lectured frequently in her area and acted in home dramas, often as Lady Macbeth She continued writing and was a frequent contributorm although often an anonymous one, to Youth’s Companion and other periodicals
Mary Agnes was one of the earliest members of the New England Woman’s Press Association , attending meetings since 1886, and she served on its Executive Committee. Writing of her career at the time that the New England Woman's Press Association began, she noted that she was a """"regular correspondent of the Boston Globe and with the Associated Press"" (Lord, 23). Some of her colleagues in the New England Woman's Press Association were Estelle M. Hatch, Sallie Joy White, Kate Tannatt Woods, Alice Stone Blackwell, Cora Stuart Wheeler, Helen Maria Winslow, and Lavinia Stella Goodwin, Esther T. Housh, Maud Howe Elliott, and Lucy Stone.
In 1887, Mary Agnes became editor on the Massachusetts Ploughman. As her A Woman of the Century profile notes:
“The position offered her had never been taken by a woman, and, indeed, the work that she did was never attempted previously, for she had the charge of almost the entire journal from the first. A few months after she accepted the position, the proprietor died, and the entire paper was in her hands for six months.”
(A Woman of the Century, p. 86)
Mary Agnes married Frederick Herbert Bishop, a Boston businessman, in 1889, and the couple lived in Wollaston Heights, Massachusetts. She continued her editorial work and was a practical reportorial stenographer. In addition, Mary Agnes still found time to pursue her literary career.
She served as
""toastmistress"" at a New England Press Association tribute to journalist Mary Boyle O'Reilly in 1917. Helen Maria Winslow introduced O'Reilly, who spoke about her journalistic activities during World War I at this Hotel Bellevue event. The next year, she represented the New England Woman's Press Association at a woman's conference in Arkansas.

Over the course of her life, Annie studied with several teachers, including C. R. Hayden, Emma Seiler, and George Sweet. Inspired by Seiler's membership in the American Philosophical Society, Annie wrote to the Society's President on November 4, 1891, requesting information about becoming a member.
Annie's April 1892 essay in Werner's Voice Magazine, ""The Philosophy of the Voice in Singing,"" presented several of her ideas about scientific voice study. In addition, she contributed ""The Voice of The Future "" to Volume V (November 1893 - April 1894) of Music: A Monthly Magazine, Devoted to the Art, Science, Technic and Literature of Music. In this essay, Annie advocated for her ideas about studying voice, noting, ""There is no royal road to learning, but good intelligent study may accomplish wonders"" (162). She also praised her mentor, Emma Seiler.
By 1900, Annie was living with her father at 400 Franklin Street in Norwich, Connecticut and teaching music.

As Dr. Cora Belle began her medical career in the mid-1880s, she established a joint practice in Baltimore with her sister Dr. Flora A. Brewster, another woman in A Woman of the Century. At the end of that decade, they published the Baltimore Family Health Journal, which later became The Homeopathic Advocate and Health Journal. In 1890, she became a gynecological surgeon at the new Maryland Homeopathic Hospital and Free Dispensary.
When Cora Belle spoke about ""Heredity"" at the 1895 Congress of Professional Women in Atlanta, The Alexandria Gazette published many quotes from her address.
By 1899, her sanitarium was at 1027 Madison Avenue in Baltimore. The next June, she was in Washington, D.C. presenting a paper about ""Reflex Ovarian Pain"" at the annual conference of The American Institute of Homeopathy. Cora Belle was prominent in her field, and the 1907 New York Tribune article called her ""one of the foremost women physicians in the country.""",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-8653794.2695304 5209258.5252868)|POINT(-8732532.7689534 5131638.3652761)|POINT(-9764728.8441442 5143979.6609389)|POINT(-8527060.482323 4759960.0308876)|POINT(-7905780.3165075 5217359.2080824)|POINT(-8234856.0551722 4973936.9446285)|POINT(-9761842.151999023 5169710.275581942)|13|-8653495.6873896|5208516.3993739|osm

The family lived in Peru, Maine.
Louisa was involved in many philanthropic and reform activities, including ministering to the sick using the Water Cure, and participating in philanthropy, anti-slavery reform, temperance reform, and suffrage efforts. Louisa utilized her public speaking and journalistic talents on behalf of the causes she believed in.
Before the Civil War, Louisa wrote poetry, contributed articles to the Oxford Democrat, and led anti-slavery efforts in her area As her daughter Christina later remembered, Louisa was very active in the war effort: ""During the civil war Mrs. Greene's patriotic labors were untiring. In addition to multitudinous household duties, which were always faithfully performed, she took upon herself the labor of collecting, preparing and forwarding hospital supplies for the boys at the front who were so dear to her heart.""
In 1869, Louisa's family moved to Manassas, Virginia, residing at the home they named Birmingham. She became a widow four years later.
Louisa passed away in Washington, D.C. on March 5, 1900, and her ashes were buried in the family plot at St. Paul's Cemetery in Alexandria, Virginia. In addition to Christina's beautiful obituary, Louisa's daughter Estelle also penned a farewell announcement and included a poem that she had written about her mother's passing. Within her tribute, Estelle included Louisa's motto: ""Help for the living and hope for the dead.""
At the National American Woman Suffrage Association Convention in February of 1902, it was announced that Louisa had bequeathed $100 to the organization.

Aldrich in 1883 and pursued a medical career. Flora graduated from Minnesota Medical College and studied in Vienna, Austria, and in Germany. Eventually, she became a physician and surgeon in Anoka, Minnesota.
On August 19, 1901, The Minneapolis Journal published a lengthy article about Flora's new book, Boudoir Companion. The article, praised Flora's book, discussed her life and career, included a photograph, and noted:
""Her medical studies were pursued in the best institutions of this country and Europe, and her knowledge of medicine is not only considered profound and accurate, but she is admired and respected by the medical profession everywhere.""
In addition to her medical work, Flora was a public speaker, an author, a suffragist, a political elector, and a philanthropist. The October 19, 1911, edition of The Princeton Union noted: ""Dr. Flora L. S. Aldrich of Anoka delivered an interesting talk to a group of Duluth club women in that city last Friday afternoon on 'Social Hygiene.' Mrs. Aldrich is a skilled physician, a gifted writer and an interesting talker."" The next week, The Princeton Union reprinted Mary McFadden's article from The Duluth News-Tribune, which calls Flora a suffragist and mentions the publication of her book, The One Man.
A Democrat, Flora appeared on the ballot as a Presidential Elector from Minnesota in 1920 for candidate James M. Cox.
Flora passed away on March 19, 1921. In May of 1921, soon after her death, the Minnesota Federation of Women's Clubs honored Flora at their convention.",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-8326429.4502992 5258720.3285296)|POINT(-10395799.412856 5652701.4052831)|12|-8326539.3285274|5258006.8665020|osm

She was an extremely intelligent and talented woman. As her A Woman of the Century profile notes:
""At an early age Corinne showed a decided histrionic talent. In her ninth year she won the Peabody medal for elocution in the Atlanta schools over competitors aged from eight to twenty-five years. In 1889, she was placed in the Cincinnati College of Music, where she made the most brilliant record in the history of the school, completing a four year course in seven months.""
After graduation, Corinne conducted parlor readings and taught elocution. She was a very popular teacher, but after a year she decided to forge a journalism career and joined the Atlanta Journal.
In March of 1892, when she was just twenty, Corinne's ""Field of Woman's Work"" was published in Atlanta Journal and then reprinted in The Herald and News.
She was a member of the Governing Board of the Georgia Women's Press Club, where her colleagues included Leonora Beck and Ellen J. Dortch,
During the time of the Atlanta Exposition in 1895, the Waterbury Democrat of Connecticut noted Corinne as one of the ""leading women"" journalists in Atlanta. It also noted her female colleagues at the Atlanta Journal, Mary Louise Huntley, Brent Whiteside, and Mary Jackson, as well as Emily Verdery Battey and other prominent Georgia women
On June 17, 1896, Corinne married Thaddeus E. Horton, another South Carolina native who had become managing editor of the Atlanta Journal in late 1894, at St. Luke's Church in Atlanta. The couple lived in Atlanta until they moved to New York City in late 1897. The Anderson Intelligencer of October 20, 1897, noted the Atlanta Journal's piece about their move:
""Mr. and Mrs. Thaddeus Horton have scores of friends who will read with mingled emotions of interest, congratulations and regret that they leave soon to make their home in New York. Mrs. Horton has lived in Atlanta all her life and Mr. Horton for the past seven years; and both have warm friends who hate to see them go, and yet who realize that the going means literary advancement. Mr. Horton has accepted a position on the Times, and Mrs. Horton will pursue her literary work at the great center of things with increased advantage.""
Unfortunately, their life in New York was not as happy as it was anticipated to be. Thad served as political editor of The New York Times until he died of typhoid fever on November 21, 1899. The next April, Corinne, who had moved back to Atlanta and was living with her mother, gave birth to their daughter, Thaddesia Edgarda.
While raising her infant in 1900, Corinne wrote for the September and October volumes of Ladies' Home Journal. She continued writing throughout the decade, contributing to House Beautiful and Uncle Remus's Magazine.
In 1909, Corinne founded the Atlanta Players' Club and was in charge of a benefit performance at the Grand Opera House. She also directed a performance of an Oscar Wilde play. Corine continued her writing as well, contributing ""Old South in American Architecture"" to the Uncle Remus's Magazine for October, 1909.
During Theodore Roosevelt’s 1912 Presidential Campaign, Corinne was chair of the “Georgia Moosettes” for Atlanta’s Fifth Congressional District. She and numerous other Georgian women supported Roosevelt’s Progressive platform because they saw it as a positive force for women.
Corinne was married to Chauncey Smith by 1920, a marriage that lasted until his death in the early 1930s. She lived in Atlanta with her daughter for many years, then she moved to Baldwin in the 1940s. Corinne passed away in Fulton, Georgia on September 11, 1947 and was buried in Atlanta's Crest Lawn Cemetery.

Zerelda spent her youth in Millersburg and her teenage years in New Castle, Kentucky and Indianapolis, Indiana. At age nineteen, she married Indiana's Lieutenant Governor, David Wallace, and became stepmother to his sons. One of those sons was Lew Wallace, who wrote Ben Hur and used Zerelda as the model for the mother in the book. David was elected to Congress the next year, and Zerelda spent some time in Washington, DC.
She was a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, as well as the first President of Indiana's chapter, and Zerelda spoke frequently about the cause. Also very involved in the suffrage movement, Zerelda was an active participant in the Equal Suffrage Society of Indianapolis. Zerelda participated in many conventions, including the National Woman Suffrage Convention in 1880, the first International Convention of Women, the Suffrage Convention in 1887, and the Women's Council in 1888. She also lectured about women's rights. In addition, Zerelda was involved in missionary work for her church, the Central Christian Church. Her publications included A Whole Humanity (1887), Mrs. Wallace on Equal Suffrage (1890), and Suggestions of a Line of Study: For Woman Suffrage Leagues and Good Citizenship Clubs (1891).
Zerelda embarked on a lengthy lecture tour in 1891. After she became seriously ill during a lecture, Susan B. Anthony and Frances E. Willard were just two of many friends who inquired about her health. Fortunately, Zerelda recovered from this illness, as well as another in 1896.
During her later years, Zerelda lived with family members in Cataract, Indiana. She passed away on March 19, 1901.

She became famous for her poem ""Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight,"" which was published in the Detroit Commercial Advertiser in 1870.
Rose married Edmund C. Thorpe in 1871. Their family expanded to include a daughter, and the Thorpe family lived in Chicago, Illinois.
She became the editor of three monthly periodicals, Temperance Tales, Well-Spring, about the home, and Words of Life, a Sunday School monthly, all published by Chicago publisher Fleming H. Revell.
Later, while she was living in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1883, Rose was awarded an honorary M.A. degree from Hillsdale College. The same year, ""Curfew Must Not Ring To-Night"" was published as a book.
Due to Mr. Thorpe's health issues, the family then moved to San Antonio, Texas and resided there for four years. In the late 1880s, Rose and her family moved again, this time to San Diego, California. She kept writing, and Ringing Ballads, including Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight made its debut in 1887.
During her long and successful career, Christian Science Journal, Detroit Free Press, Happy Days, Our Continent, St. Nicholas, Wide Awake, and Youth's Companion published Rose's work.
In 1895, ""Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight"" was published as a song, with music by Stanley Hawley. During the same year, Rose wrote the ""Introduction"" to As Others See Us, or, The Rules and Customs of Refined Homes and Polite Society. She published The Poetical Works of Rose Hartwick Thorpe, Compiled by the Author in 1912.
When Litchfield, Michigan celebrated its anniversary in 1934, Rose wrote the Centennial Theme Song. In addition, July 21 was designated Rose Hartwick Thorpe Day and the Rose Hartwick Thorpe Memorial was dedicated.
Rose passed away in 1939.

Early in her career, Stella was a teacher in Osceola WI, but she made her major mark in journalism. After marrying newspaper editor Samuel S. Fifield and starting a family, Stella wrote for The Polk County Press, a paper he edited. She also contributed to his next newspaper, The Bayfield Press. In 1871, Samuel and Stella were two of the original settlers of Ashland, Wisconsin. When The Bayfield Press became The Ashland Press in 1872, Stella was affiliated with this paper. From 1877, when Sam started The Bayfield Press again, to 1880, she wrote for both papers. Speaking of Stella, the Commemorative Biographical Record of the Upper Lake Region noted: ""she was and is not only a writer of ability, but was capable of rendering practical assistance in the typographical work of the newspaper office"" (4).
The Fifields lived at Evergreen, a beautiful home in Ashland. Samuel became postmaster and was involved in politics. In 1881, he became Lieutenant Governor. Stella served as a leader in the Ashland Chapter of the Chippewa Presbytery and was active in various charitable associations.
Stella and Sam established a camping resort, Camp Stella, on Sand Island in 1886. As Jane Celia Busch explains:
""Sam Fifield and his wife Stella began to camp on Sand Island in 1881....In 1886 they camped on the property which became Camp Stella, and soon after they purchased the property and began developing a permanent camp. While the Fifields sought relief on Sand Island for Stella's hay fever, their camping vacations were part of a popular trend...Organized, communal camps such as Camp Stella offered a more civilized camping experience, with hired help to do the work and other guests to share in recreational activities...It was an affluent, often prominent, clientele....Sam Fifield's yacht Stella was used for transportation from the mainland and for pleasure cruises around the islands"" (310-311).
The Fifields also enjoyed trips with others. In August of 1890, along with Sam and other members of the Wisconsin Press Association, Stella boarded a Pullman sleeper car on the Northern Pacific Railroad for a trip to Yellowstone National Park. Ella A. Giles, a poet whose profile also appears in A Woman of the Century, was in Stella's sleeper car during the trip. Interested in leading and in promoting women, Stella served as a member of the Wisconsin Board of Lady Managers for the Columbian Exposition during the first half of the 1890s.
Stella and Sam continued to enjoy their time on Sand Island. On June 26, 1909, she celebrated Sam's seventieth birthday there with him and numerous guests. After Stella passed away in 1913, she was buried in Ashland's Mount Hope Cemetery.",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-9561297.6650336 5193066.2664514)|POINT(-10117421.83305 5875399.7994685)|6|-9822998.9405886|5492645.0753378|osm

After she married, she moved to Meriden, Connecticut and lived in that state for the rest of her life. Having a keen interest in science, she was very involved with the Meriden Scientific Association.
While her A Woman of the Century profile heading lists Ella as a temperance reformer, she was involved in many activities and causes.
Just as she had worked with her husband's business when she lived in Meriden, Ella became associate editor of her husband's periodical, New England Home, when they settled in Hartford. She utilized her editorial experience in 1899 when she became editor of Talks and Tales, ""a monthly magazine composed as to text and type entirely by the blind"" (Evening Star, December 28, 1899).
An education advocate, Ella wrote to Woman's Journal in 1896 about the many Connecticut women involved on educational boards in the state.
Also a supporter of women's rights, she was an active member of the Equal Rights Association and was corresponding secretary of the Connecticut Woman's Suffrage Association. In 1896 and 1897, she was very involved with the movement by the Equal Rights Association to erect a statue in Hartford in honor of Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Her work for the temperance cause involved being a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and a leader of the Prohibition Party in Meriden, New Haven, and Hartford. She spoke about temperance at the 1907 New Haven County W.C.T.U. meeting and about ""Women As Citizens"" at the 1922 meeting. In addition, she was Superintendent of the Demorest Medal Contests.
Ella combined her interests in women's rights and temperance by speaking on 'How to Use the Ballot"" at the W.C.T. U. Institute in June, 1916. The Norwich Bulletin reported: ""[s]he gave a most interesting talk, citing instances to show the way it has been used for good in many places.""
She also joined with women of her Unitarian faith, being a member of the Connecticut Valley Associate Alliance of Unitarian Women and speaking at its 1922 conference.
As Ella's A Woman of the Century profile notes, ""She is a woman of active habits and strong character, and she makes her influence felt in any cause that enlists her sympathies"" (434).",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-7866030.075983 5154666.3076791)|POINT(-8103281.654283 5088617.0454212)|POINT(-8091051.729759 5122860.8340882)|7|-8022051.7854699|5163817.9436292|osm

She married Abner L. Parsons on March 27, 1844, and gave birth to Clarence Lathrop Parsons, but she lost both her husband and her young son in 1849. After returning to her family in Hartford, Carrie moved to Springfield, Illinois, in 1851 and met Charles Rollin Post, a friend of her brother's. She returned to Hartford the next year and continued to correspond with Charles. They were married on October 10, 1853, and resided in Springfield (Major, 286). Over time, Caroline gave birth to Charles William, Aurelian, and Carroll. She and her family were members of the First Congregational Church. When the boys were growing up, Carrie ""guided her boys in the arts, music, and literature"" (Major, 290). She also found time to contribute to several publications, including Chicago Advance, Life and Light, Golden Rule, and Floral World.
In 1886, Caroline's family moved to Fort Worth, Texas. She continued to write both poetry and prose and was involved with the Woman's Board of Missions. The Magazine of Poetry from 1892 published both a short biographical sketch and six of her poems. The October 1907 volume of Mission Studies included her poem ""The Message of Christ and His Angel to Woman."" She published them in Aunt Carrie's Poems, in 1909.
During the 1890s, her son, Charles William (C.W.) Post, became a millionaire through his inventions in the cereal industry. Since his parents were devoted churchgoers and needed a new church, C.W. donated the money for the First Congregational Church of Fort Worth in 1903 (Major, 292). That same year, Charles Rollin and Caroline celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary, a milestone that was mentioned in Margaret E. Sangster's ""Around the Hearth"" page in The Christian Herald.
When he was ill in 1914, C.W. committed suicide. In his eulogy, C.W.'s cousin, Rev. Roswell C. Post, paid tribute to Carrie and Rollin, as well as to Charlie. When she heard of her son's death, ninety-year-old Carrie wrote a poem to him. A few months later, on October 17, 1914, Carrie passed away in Fort Worth.

Her profile lists her as a woman suffragist and journalist, but she also was a wife, a mother, a teacher, and a supporter of several different causes.
With a father and grandfather who were ministers and parents who were both active in reform efforts, Eliza was raised in an atmosphere with people who gave back to their communities. She followed their lead early in her life, presenting a flag to the Fifteenth Regiment of Massachusetts and speaking at that event. She also taught for ten years, including time teaching in Pittsburgh, beginning a career of passionate engagement with education. Eliza married John Lange Hill in 1866 and became a mother to three children.
Despite her domestic responsibilities, Eliza found time to toil for the many causes she believed in. As her A Woman of the Century profile explains, Eliza ""labored earnestly for the redemption of abandoned women, but, believing that preventive is more effectual than reformatory work, she has identified herself with the societies that care for and help the working girls"" (380). An 1887 article in the St. Johnsbury Caledonian discussed how she and Ellen M. H. Richards led the New England Helping-Hand Society's efforts to establish a home for working women in Boston.
Eliza also contributed as a public speaker, an early member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (especially its committee on prison reform), a political activist, and a member of the Prohibition Party.
An ardent advocate of public education, Eliza was the founder and editor of Woman's Voice and Public School Champion. She was elected to membership in the New England Woman's Press Association in 1890. The next September, Eliza joined Julia Ward Howe, Mary A. Livermore, and Susan S. Fessenden on the speaking platform at Tremont Temple for a rally related to the upcoming school committee election.
Eliza also continued to advocate for reforms. In late November of 1898, The Indianapolis Journal announced her upcoming talk, ""Glimpses of Prison Life."" Two days later, the newspaper published a lengthy review of her speech, an article that reveals Eliza's style of combining logos and pathos, sharing statistics while also touching audiences with emotional stories of individuals whose lives led them to crime.
She passed away at her home in Somerville, Massachusetts on March 29, 1908, and was buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-8036493.6064993 5192241.5825761)|POINT(-7993063.0424966 5248651.9601517)|POINT(-7910243.5223611 5215057.886225)|POINT(-7914753.3070293 5219032.6116953)|POINT(-8906303.9924351 4933170.8156896)|11|-8036531.8250133|5190467.4074903|osm

",,"Lucy Newhall Colman, an anti-slavery agitator and woman suffragist, was born in Sturbridge, Massachusetts on July 26, 1817. She married at eighteen and moved to Boston, but her husband died of consumption in 1841.
She married again two years later and gave birth to a daughter in 1845. Colman began to advocate for equal rights of women and emancipation of the slaves in 1846. In her anti-slavery work, Lucy was associated with William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, and Frederick Douglass.
When Mr. Colman, an engineer on the New York Central Railroad, was killed in a railroad accident in 1852, Andrew Jackson Davis presided at his funeral in Rochester, NY. While living in Rochester, Lucy took over the “colored school” to close it, encouraging parents to send their children to district schools.
Lucy lectured in several states about the causes she believed in. In 1857, the Anti-Slavery Bugle of New-Lisbon, Ohio published her recollections of her travels on behalf of the cause. During the Civil War, the well-connected Lucy Colman arranged and attended a meeting at the White House between Sojourner Truth and President Lincoln.
Susan B. Anthony invited Lucy to read a paper at a state convention of teachers, and Mrs. Colman chose to use this opportunity to advocate for the abolition of corporal punishment in the Rochester schools.
Later, Lucy served as matron in the National Colored Orphan Asylum in Washington, D.C. and was appointed teacher of a ”colored school” in Georgetown, D.C.
Lucy wrote about her life in Reminiscences, which was published by H. L. Green in 1891. She passed away in Syracuse, New York on January 18, 1906.

She possesses unusual power of memory, mental concentration, energy and business ability, combined with such sweetness of disposition and deference for others as to make it easy for her to accomplish whatever she undertakes.

Like many women of her time, this daughter of an Irish immigrant began her career as a teacher. In April of 1859, Emma was appointed as a teacher in Cincinnati's Third District with a salary of twenty dollars. Her salary may have been low because she was hired in April, since she is listed as having earned three hundred dollars the next year. Later, Emma served as a principal in Kansas City, Missouri.
Upon her return to Cincinnati, Emma began to deliver lectures. Her A Woman of the Century profile notes: ""She was one of the first women who presented parlor lectures on literature in the West"" (481). On February 11, 1879, The Cincinnati Daily Star advertised one of her upcoming lectures: ""Miss Emma McAvoy will deliver, at College Hall, on the evening of the 28th of February, an evening lecture on the subject, 'The Ode and Errors in Conversation.'"" Other lectures over the next two years were on ""Sonnet, with Hints for Improvement in Conversation,"" and ""The World's Conversationalists.""
As a popular figure on the lecture circuit, Emma often received praise in the press. For example, a week before her 1884 speech in Omaha, Nebraska, The Omaha Daily Bee advertised:
""On next Monday evening, November 24th, Miss Emma McAvoy will lecture on the subject, 'Hints for Improvement in Conversation.' The lady has just delivered four lectures in Denver, and is said to be a pleasing speaker.""
She also gave ""an able address well delivered"" on ""Books"" in Denver, Colorado, and a ""well attended and thoroughly enjoyed"" lecture on ""Conversation"" in Maysville, Kentucky, during 1896. Emma was still lecturing by 1900, when she lived in Cincinnati with her sister Mary.
Emma passed away on February 4, 1919, and is buried in Cincinnati's Spring Grove Cemetery.

In 1891, The Magazine of Poetry published her image, some of her poems, and a biographical sketch of Alice by W. Farrand Fetch, quitely likely same person who later wrote her sketch for A Woman of the Century.
Commenting on Alice's work, Fetch added:
""Miss Deletombe's poems are inspirations emotion more than reason, of heart not art, which well out of a warm, passionate, beauty-loving heart. As such, they are true poems of the soul, and in spite of some metrical defects, are too good to be lost to the world.""
Two years later, the same periodical published her poem ""At His Gate.""
She also served as one of the many contributors to A Woman of the Century.
By 1903, Alice was writing for The Rosary, a periodical tied to her Catholic faith.

Bessie, as she was known, and Agnes Ethelwn Wetherald worked together as publishers of the journal Our Wives and Daughters. As Elizabeth's A Woman of the Century profile notes:
""As presiding genius of that journal, her mission has been and is to stimulate women to become, not only housekeepers in the highest sense, but to be better furnished mentally by systematic good reading, more intelligent as mothers, well informed concerning the chief wants of the day and thoroughly equipped intellectually and spiritually for all the duties of womanhood"" (146).
When she wasn't working to fulfill that ambitious goal, Elizabeth was serving as a leader in the London Woman's Christian Temperance Union, participating in women's reading groups, and spending time with her family.

Writing about Alma in 1895, the Essex County Herald of Guildhall, Vermont noted:
""We called on Mrs. Cummings of the News and Sentinel last Monday, and found her as usual driven with work. Besides her editorial work and printing business she finds time to do some very beautiful painting and embroidery.""
By 1906, Alma's son Harry was part of the team at the Colebrook News and Sentinel.
That she continued her interests in both editorial and handwork is evident from her listings as ""Editor and Conductor"" in the 1910 census and ""Dress Maker"" in the 1920 census.

Josephine was born on February 22, 1843, into the wealthy Williamson family in Newport, Kentucky. She was the daughter of Captain Euclid Williamson, a Virginian, and Mary Kirby Williamson of Leeds, England. Josephine grew up and married Captain William Henry of Versailles, Kentucky in 1868. Captain William Henry was an eminent scholar and one of the most well-known educators in the South. They resided in Kentucky and became deeply involved in state and local affairs. One year later they welcomed their only son, Fredrick W. Henry. Fredrick was a writer and reporter for the Chicago Inter Ocean Newspaper, where he would later die in a train fire while writing an article.
Josephine was an American Progressive Era women’s rights leader, suffragist, social reformer, and writer. She was a strong advocate for women and was a leading proponent of legislation that would grant married women property rights. Henry lobbied hard for the adoption of the Kentucky 1894 Married Women’s Property Act, and she is credited for being instrumental in its passage. She was the first woman to campaign publicly for a statewide office in Kentucky. Josephine would later die in 1928, but not without leaving an impact on the world and in the eyes of women.

She was an editor, educator, author, public speaker, and temperance reformer. Passionate about education from a young age, Emma was a graduate of the State Normal School at Albany and the City University of New York. In addition to teaching, Benedict edited “The New York School Journal.”
Also interested in writing for children, Emma penned “Pieces to Speak.” Lee and Shepard of Boston published this book which received praise from The Morning Call of San Francisco. Similarly, The New Haven Daily Morning Carrier Journal gave a positive review to Emma's The Gregory Guards, another book for young people, calling it: ""A story of reaping good by doing good, bright and entertaining and full of life, incident and good sense.""
Through her work with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Emma was affiliated with Mary H. Hunt. Speaking of her extensive research related to temperance, Benedict's A Woman of the Century profile notes: ""There is probably no other person more familiar than she with the whole subject of the nature and effects of alcohol on the human system"" (74). She and Hunt exerted a great deal of effort preparing teaching manuals on the topic.
Emma married C. Frederick Transeau in Boston on November 28, 1895. In 1900, she was living in Westwood, Massachusetts, and working as a journalist. During the first decades of the new century, Emma continued her crusade against alcohol by writing articles, non-fiction books, and temperance fiction. In addition, Emma was an officer of the Scientific Temperance Federation. Beginning in 1923, she wrote the “What the Current Magazines are Saying about Prohibition and Law Enforcement” column in The American Issue. Emma published her last book, Knotty Problems Regarding Moderate Drinking, in 1935. She passed away in Boston two years later and was buried in Clifton Park Baptist Cemetery, Clifton Park, New York.

""No woman has affected me to the extent you did. I was only a little lad, I knew nothing about you, yet in all the years that have passed, I have met no woman so 'noble' as you. I have never seen you since those library days, yet the memory picture I retain of you is as vivid as any I possess.""

By 1870, her family had moved to West Lincoln, Ilinois. Flora graduated from Lincoln University in 1872. She married Charles E. Apponyi in Sacramento in August of 1875. Eleven years later, after divorcing her husband, Flora married John Loughead in San Francisco, California. She had children with both husbands.

She also edited Life, Diary and Letters of Oscar Lovell Shafter, Associate Justice, Supreme Court of California, January 1, 1864, to December 31, 1868, in 1915. In 1899, Flora accused Charles H. Hoyt of plagiarizing books she had written in the early 1890s for his play ""A Contented Woman.""
In addition to penning her books, Flora also wrote for newspapers and periodicals. In 1895, she was writing for The San Francisco Call. Flora was a contributor to Household in 1903, and ""When The Prince Came,"" her story about California, began its run as a serial in the June 1905 edition of Sunset Magazine. By 1908, Flora was editing for The San Francisco Chronicle.

Also very interested in libraries, she wrote The Libraries of California: Containing Descriptions of the Principal Private and Public Libraries Throughout the State in 1878,
By 1897, Flora was a member of the Woman's Parliament of Southern California. That October, she was one of many participants at the Woman's Parliament's convention in Los Angeles.
After Florence and John's divorce, she married David A. Guitierrez, who was twelve years her junior, in November of 1908.

55,https://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/55,"DODGE, Miss Hannah Perkins",,"Hannah Perkins Dodge was born in North Littleton, Massachusetts, on February 16, 1821. She dedicated her life to the education of young people, especially young women, and to philanthropic causes. Hannah taught as a young woman and attended Lawrence Academy and Townsend Female Academy. After graduating from the latter school, she became Townsend Female Academy's principal. In addition, she taught in Norfolk, Virginia, for a few months.
Seven years after beginning her tenure at Townsend, Hannah moved to Worcester, Massachusetts, to teach at Oread Collegiate Institute, a school for young women that had been founded by Eli Thayer in 1848. She served as Preceptress and later as Acting Principal, while also teaching Moral Philosophy and Mathematics. One of her colleagues at Oread was Elizabeth Grout Arms, a friend who, like Hannah, had previously taught at Townsend Female Academy. According to Rev. William Jacob Cloues, Hannah's advisors included Dr. Francis Wayland (Brown's President), Rev. Dr. Heman Lincoln Wayland (pastor of Worcester's Main St. Baptist Church), Dr. Edward Everett Hale (pastor of Worcester's Church of the Unity), and Hon. Isaac Davis (a lawyer and politician who served as Worcester's mayor).
In 1859, Hannah left Oread and spent a year traveling and studying in Europe. Upon her return in 1861, she opened her own school, Codman Hill Young Ladies' School, in Dorchester, Massachusetts. By 1868, Hannah's friend Elizabeth was living in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where her husband, Rev. Dr. Heman Lincoln Wayland, had become a professor at Kalamazoo College. Since Hannah moved to Michigan in 1868 to become Lady Principal at Kalamazoo College, it appears likely that Rev. Wayland had mentioned Hannah's talents to the college's leaders. Later, she returned to New England, serving in the same capacity at the co-ed New London Literary and Scientific Institution (later Colby Academy) in New London, New Hampshire.
While she officially retired in 1877, and returned to Littleton, Massachusetts, Hannah was not done giving back. In addition to being a philanthropist, she served as the superintendent of schools in Littleton, as a trustee of the Reuben Hoar Library, and as the president of the local Woman's Christian Temperance Union.

She was the daughter of William Young Ripley and Zulma DeLacy Thomas. When Julia was a young girl, her father moved the family to his native Vermont, where he devoted himself to the Rutland marble quarries. After William built the Rutland Opera House, Julia worked to develop women’s appreciation for the arts.
In 1847, Julia married Hon. Seneca M. Dorr, a lawyer and legislator from New York. They had five children. Seneca encouraged her writing, and he sent Julia's first published poem to “Union Magazine” without her knowledge. Her first published short story, “Isabel Leslie,” won her one hundred dollars in prize money. Julia's novel “Farmingdale” was published under her pseudonym, Caroline Thomas, again with assistance and support from her husband. In addition to being a wife and mother, Julia was a prolific poet, an author, a wife, a mother, and an inspirational community member.
After Seneca passed away in 1884, Julia devoted some of her time to another cause. According to her “A Women of the Century” profile, ""she became the leader of a band of women who founded the Rutland Free Library, the success of which has been so remarkable"" (253). Surely, her works were in that library, as Julia’s poetry, stories, essays and letters won respect from her townspeople and famous male writers such as Longfellow, Emerson, Whittier, and Holmes. She rightfully earned her place in American literary history. Julia was honored as Vermont’s “unofficial poet laureate,” and she was bestowed the honor of Doctor of Letters from Middlebury College in 1910.
Julia Caroline Riley Dorr died on January 18, 1913, and was buried in Rutland's Evergreen Cemetery.

She graduated from Streator High School, Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, and the Chicago School of Oratory.
Julia spent much of her life in the Chicago area. During her early efforts for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Julia worked closely with Levancia Holcomb Plumb. Frances Elizabeth Willard and Matilda B. Carse are just two other people in Julia's personal network. Matilda B. Carse gave Julia the nickname ""Yolande,"" after she noted Julia's similarity to the heroine of an 1883 novel by William Black (A Young Woman Journalist, 39).
In addition to her efforts on behalf of temperance reform, Ames wrote for the Chicago Inter-Ocean and edited the Union Signal. She was a member of, and later the president of, the Woman's Temperance Publishing Circle of King's Daughters.
Julia passed away in Boston on December 12, 1891, after having become very ill while participating in a convention. She was just thirty-one years old. Julia was buried in Riverview Cemetery in Streator, Illinois. The year after ""Yolande's"" death, The Woman's Temperance Publishing Association published A Young Woman Journalist: A Memorial Tribute to Julia A. Ames.

She met Andrew J. Aikens, editor of a weekly North Adams newspaper, and the couple moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin after their 1854 marriage. Amanda devoted her life to raising their three daughters, editing the ""Woman's World"" department of the Evening Wisconsin, her husband's paper, and participating in numerous activities.
A member of the Association for the Advancement of Women, Amanda was a strong advocate for women's education. In 1876, she took two of their daughters to Europe. As The Lake County Star noted, ""They sail to Europe, and will remain abroad for some time, Mrs. Aikens intending to educate her daughters, giving them the full benefit of French and German study."" Eight years later, she made another trip there with Stella and Minnie, since Minnie was going to be attending school in Paris. The St. Paul Daily Globe reported that Amanda would ""remain with her while she is receiving her education.""
Interested in educating all women, Amanda was involved with the establishment of the Wisconsin Industrial School for Girls, later serving as its Vice President. She also supported the Johns Hopkins Medical School to ensure that it would accept female students.
Amanda's profile in A Woman of the Century goes into detail about her work with another women's organization:
""She has been identified for fifteen years as an officer or director with the Art Science Class, a literary organization for the purpose of developing a taste in architecture, painting, sculpture, and science. One-hundred-fifty ladies belong to this class, and it has done more for the direct education of women in the arts and sciences than any other society in the State"" (11).
Amanda's extensive charity work included being a state delegate to the National Conference of Charities, as well as serving with Ella A. Giles and others on the Committee On Charitable Work by Women of the Wisconsin Conference of Charities.
Also interested in politics, Amanda was a founder of the Woman's Republican Club of Wisconsin.
She continued her work with the Association for the Advancement of Women, meeting with Julia Ward Howe, Ednah Dow Cheney, Martha H. Mowry, and many other colleagues in Grand Rapids, Michigan in October of 1891, and being elected the Wisconsin officer.
After being ill for several months, Amanda passed away at her Milwaukee home on May 20, 1892.

Alcott lived in Boston with her family during her youth and moved with them to Harvard where her father, transcendentalist Amos Bronson Alcott, had formed the Fruitlands community. Later, the family moved back to Concord. During the Civil War, Louisa worked as a nurse in Washington, D.C. While an illness halted her service shortly after it had started, the experience was the inspiration for Hospital Sketches (1863). James Redpath, her publisher, also published her On Picket Duty, and Other Tales the next year.
During her career, Louisa wrote numerous books under her own name and several thrillers under her pseudonym, A. M. Barnard. Her most famous book was Little Women published by Roberts Brothers in 1868. This book was illustrated by her sister May Alcott Nieriker, an artist whose profile is in A Woman of the Century. Louisa also edited Merry's Museum from 1868 to 1879 and wrote pieces for periodicals such as The Atlantic Monthly and The Independent.
Louisa's extensive social network included authors Ednah Dow Cheney, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Elizabeth Powell Bond, Henry David Thoreau, and her uncle, reformer Samuel Joseph May.
By 1883, Louisa was living in Concord and caring for both her elderly father and her niece Lu, whose mother May had passed away shortly after her birth. The Indianapolis Journal reprinted Louisa's letter to Lucy Stone that while she was interested in woman's suffrage, her family obligations prevented her from attending the Woman's Suffrage National Convention. Louisa also expressed her frustration at the lack of interest in the topic by many of Concord's women and hoped that the women at the Convention could help to provide motivation for ""these slothful sisters."" Later that year, Louisa was one of ten women who sent a joint letter to the Massachusetts and Republican State Central Committees. As The Greenville Times notes, ""They believe that the establishment of political rights for women is essential to the highest good of the state."" The other women were Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, Mary G. Ames, Mary A. Livermore, Mary F. Eastman, Ednah D. Cheney, Mary C. Shannon, Mary Shannon, and Susan E. B. Channing. Louisa continued to support the cause during the 1880s.

During the 1840s, Abby and some of her family members spent time at Brook Farm, the Uptopian community in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. Recalling her friends hip with Abby there, Ora Gannett Sedgwick later commented: ""Among these I must not omit to mention Abby Morton (Mrs. Diaz), who became very dear to me, and whose peculiar combination of liveliness and dignity, together with her beautiful singing, made her a favorite with all the members, old and new"" [Atlantic Monthly, 85 (509): 401].
Abby's career included being an industrial reformer, an Anti-Slavery advocate, a teacher, a housekeeper, a social worker, and an author. She was writing fiction by her early forties and contributed to The Arena, The Atlantic Monthly, Hearth and Home, The Independent, New England Magazine, Our Young Folks, and Wide Awake.
Diaz's three 1864 pieces in The Atlantic Monthly were ""The Schoolmaster's Story,"" ""Some Account of the Early Life of an Old Bachelor,"" and ""The Little Country-Girl.""
A popular juvenile fiction writer, she often published with James R. Osgood and Company. Her The William Henry Letters was published in 1872. During the Christmas holiday of 1877, her The Jimmyjohns & Other Stories received high praise from The Independent: ""The Jimmyjohns and Other Stories, by the charming juvenile writer, Mrs. A. M. Diaz, is one of the very best children's books of the year."" Some of her other works were: William Henry and His Friends, The Cats' Arabian Nights, or King Grimalkum, and Bybury to Beacon Street,
While writing, she also continued lecturing on topics such as ""Women's Work for the Millenium.""
In 1889, Abby wrote a piece about her hometown, ""A Plymouth Pilgrimage,"" for New England Magazine. Ten years later, Diaz penned ""Antislavery Times in Plymouth"" for the same periodical.
Abby continued to write and publish into the new century. Her The Flatiron and the Red Cloak; Old Times at X-Roads was published by T. Y. Crowell % Company in 1901. She passed away in Belmont, Massachusetts on April 1, 1904 and was buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The family lived in Whitestone, New York in 1865, Dover, New Hampshire in 1870, and Providence, Rhode Island in 1880.
One cause that Emeline was passionate about was her Free Will Baptist religion. Throughout her life, Emeline was a leader who used her talent to support Free Will Baptist causes.

Emeline also edited The Myrle, a children's periodical, and Town and Country, a temperance periodical.

Anna Howard Shaw. Working with other women, Emeline lent her talent and voice to the Atlanta Exposition in 1895.

Once she moved to Boston, Emma wrote a book of poems and contributed to several periodicals. Often writing as ""E. E. Brown,"" she penned several biographical sketches, poems, and short stories for periodicals such as Aldine, Atlantic Monthly, Living Age, and Wide Awake.
Noticing her piece ""The Child Toilers of Boston Streets"" in the February 1878 edition of Wide Awake, The Ottawa Free Trader of Illinois said that ""Emma E. Brown gives us a glimpse of Boston New Boys' life."" Sharing what she learned in her travels, Emma wrote ""Easter in Florence."" This piece of travel writing was published for that holiday in 1895 in the Turner County Herald of Hurley, South Dakota.

Her A Woman of the Century profile notes the important roles that being raised in a home with books and a mother who encouraged writing played in setting Alice on the road to a writing career. In addition to being a prolific writer, Alice also devoted much time to being a mother and wife.
One of her passions was her work with women's clubs. In 1910, The Guthrie Daily Leader commented on Alice's club work, noted her husband's reaction to hearing about it, and praised her writing:
""Has A Thoughtful Husband.
Mrs. Alice Williams Brotherton, who is prominent as a club woman in Cincinnati, says that her husband declared that he was willing to hear clubs talked three times a day at meals, but he drew the line at curtain lectures on the subject. Mrs. Brotherton is a successful writer and has made quite a reputation as a poet.""
Alice's work was published in periodicals such as Aldine, Atlantic Monthly, Century, Independent, Magazine of Poetry, New England Magazine, Scribner's Monthly, and St. Nicholas.
She passed away on February 9, 1930, and was buried in Cincinnati's Spring Grove Cemetery.
