National Votes for Women Trail

NCWHS is leading the effort to develop a National Votes for Women Trail (NVWT).

The Trail

Get Involved

A project of The National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites, The National Votes for Women Trail is collecting sites from all over our country to allow us to tell the untold story of suffrage for all women, of all ethnicities, that extends well past the passage of the 19th amendment. We currently have 44 State Coordinators and over 2000 sites on our database, which continues to grow at a rapid pace. Our partner, The William G. Pomeroy Foundation, is complementing our efforts with the donation of 250 historic roadside markers nationally.

Arizona	Phoenix	Ella C. St. Clair Thompson	September 1915	The Jefferson Hotel (later known as the Barrister Building)	The Jefferson Hotel was opened in 1915. In September 1915 a young Congressional Union (CU) organizer named Ella C. St. Clair Thompson was staying there while she tried to get up a delegation of suffragists to US Representative Carl Hayden, a Democrat. She had a lot of difficulty making this happen because Arizona women, especially, were bitter that the CU had campaigned in Arizona in 1914 against the Democrats running for re-election. This was part of the CU's controversial policy of holding the political party in power accountable for failing to pass the national woman suffrage amendment. While the popular Hayden won re-election, many of his supporters were bitter that the CU had campaigned against him and refused to cooperate with forming a delegation to go and lobby him on behalf of the federal amendment. The campaigns against the Democrats took place in 1914 and 1916, but in 1915 the CU sent organizers into the field to organize deputations to elected officials in order to keep pressure on them. In her weekly report to the CU Thompson wrote, in part, "I cannot report a thing this week. I am working like a dog with mighty little result....This is Hayden's home and he is very bitter..." Apparently Hayden's wife was even more angry than her husband.

In their home she taught higher education in English, Botany, oil painting, and drawing. Adeline was also the first woman in Iowa to lead the women's rights movement, which furthered the rights of women's suffrage. During the eight years that the Swains lived in the house rooms were rented out to new-comers arriving to Fort Dodge. The house was also rented out for banquets, parties, receptions, and other events. At one of the parties one such person who attended was the late A.H. Hilton "Gus." He was also accompanied by Mary G. Laufersweiler. Later when the spiritualist movement became popular it caught the attention of the Swains (This movement was believed to communicate with the dead and equality across humanity, especially in gender). The swains formed a small community of followers and held séances in the third floor room which is considered the ballroom. Adeline was elected state secretary in 1874; her spiritualist followers hosted the state convention. It was during that time that Adeline found her way onto the Greenback political ticket, and was awarded lifetime membership. Governmental meetings were held at her home. After her husband's death in 1877 she moved from Fort Dodge. In 1879 Webb and Catherine Vincent bought the home, and moved into it in October 17,1879, the house was not yet finished when the Vincents moved into the home. Webb's son Donald was then just a small child.

Iowa	Des Moines	Iowa General Assembly; Iowa Suffrage Memorial Commission	1886 to present	Iowa State Capitol Building	The Iowa State Capitol is home to the Iowa General Assembly, where Iowa became the tenth state to ratify the 19th Amendment. From 1916 to 1919, Iowa was a suffrage battleground. On June 5, 1916, Iowa voted on a referendum to amend the constitution and grant women the ballot. Although the referendum failed, the campaign piqued national interest. With the United States' entry into World War I, Iowa women were sometimes torn between suffrage and war work, and suffrage campaigns faded from the public eye. Just two years later, Congress passed the 19th amendment and the women of Iowa launched a ratification campaign. In a special session of the General Assembly held on July 2, 1919, Iowa became the tenth state to ratify. To commemorate their struggle, veteran Iowan suffragists formed the Iowa Suffrage Memorial Commission in 1922. Fourteen years later, a bronze-based relief was installed in the Iowa State Capitol near the Iowa Secretary of State's office.

The organization asked Nichols to present their petitions to the 1859 constitutional convention in Wyandotte. Nichols attended the constitutional convention and was allowed to speak but not to vote. While the Wyandotte Constitution, which eventually became Kansas's state constitution, did not grant women full suffrage, it did allow for women's to to have child custody rights, limited property rights, and the right to vote in school board elections.

She started the Lexington chapter of the Sorosis woman's club and served as its President for many years. She was also a charter member of the Woman's Club of Central Kentucky. In the fall of 1895, Lexington's women voted in the local public school board elections and she was elected to the Lexington Public School Board. In 1898 she was elected as corresponding secretary for the Kentucky Equal Rights Association (KERA), an important position that coordinated the reports for all the local clubs. In 1903 she chaired the Woman's Council Committee, a joint group of KERA and Fayette ERA volunteers that organized a program for the Lexington Chatauqua at Woodland Park. Roark served as an officer in KERA for nearly every year until 1911, also taking on the role of chair of the Education Committee of the Kentucky Federation of Women's Club after the Kentucky legislature revoked the partial woman suffrage law. She collaborated with Madeline McDowell Breckinridge in writing op eds and pamphlets on the role of women in educational reform and women's suffrage. In 1905 the Roarks moved with their four children to Worchester, Mass., where her husband could work on his graduate studies for a year at Clark University. They then moved to Richmond when Ruric was appointed the first president of the Eastern Kentucky Normal School. He fell ill with brain cancer, and while he was being treated in a Cincinnati hospital, the trustees appointed Mary as acting president. When he died two months later on April 14, 1909, she was then officially appointed as president, and she was granted his salary -- an important point in her advocacy for women in education. In her leadership role at Eastern Normal School, she guided the addition of sports leagues at the school, established the first all-female residence hall and oversaw the erection of two new buildings on campus: Roark, which was used for teaching the sciences and agriculture as well as her administrative offices; and the new campus power plant. She was the first female to serve as president of a public higher education institution in Kentucky history. After her role as president ended in April 1910, she stayed on as Dean of Women until 1915. Then she left Kentucky to earn her Masters degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1916. She died while she was in Baltimore, and her body was brought back to be buried beside her husband and one of her sons Ruric (1894-1918) Her daughter Mary Kathleen Roark (1898-1981) is also buried there in Section J, Lot 681 in the Richmond Cemetery.

Her book The Feminist Movement (London, 1913) included chapters on making the case for woman suffrage. Margaret Weissinger Castleman, President of the Shelby County Equal Rights Association, wrote in her report to the KERA Convention of 1915 that "the sentiment for suffrage in Shelby County was sufficiently strong to warrant its having Mrs. Snowden speak at the Shelbyville court house on the evening of Sunday, November 7th, realizing that her powerful message would work wonders with some of the recalcitrant citizens of the County. All of the ministers readily accorded their assistance by foregoing their evening services for the occasion."

Kentucky	Mt. Vernon	Josephine K. Henry	1880-1894	Rockcastle County Courthouse	As part of the KERA Free Lecture Bureau, Mrs. Josephine Kirby Henry had been lecturing on women's rights across Kentucky in 1891.

Kentucky	Pikeville	Lily Ray Glenn and Mrs. C.M. Freeman	1912-1920	Pike County Courthouse	Celia M. Fuller (Mrs. C.M.) Freeman, president of the Boyd County ERA, and Lily Ray Glenn, a NAWSA recruiter from Washington D.C., presented on Temperance and Woman's Rights (respectively) in the Pike County court room on Tuesday, July 14, 1914. The Pikeville Cornet Band performed for the attendees on the street before the meeting and during the meeting - Miss Glenn assured the KERA convention later that year that this musical addition to the program helped draw crowds. The newspaper reporter described Glenn's speech as witty "and proved herself a thoroughly practical soldier in the cause." When a person in the crowd asserted that "woman's place is upon a pedestal in the home," Glenn used humor to reply. The reporter summarized: "She said that in Washington, where there were so many bronze figures upon pedestals, invariably they were of men, and if a spectator should find a woman in bronze or marble, she would be clinging to one of the lower corners, and not on top of the pedestal; in other words, merely an ornamentation." The meeting was a success, since the Pike County Suffrage Association formed there "with a large membership enrollment." Miss Mary Auxier was elected president.

Kentucky	Hartford	Lily Ray Glenn	1894-1912	Hartford Courthouse	Lily Ray Glenn, a NAWSA recruiter from Washington D.C., spoke on woman suffrage at the Hartford Courthouse during her 1914 suffrage tour across Kentucky. She arrived on Friday, May 8, 1914, and spoke at the courthouse the next night. The newspaper reporter was skeptical of her reception: "Miss Glenn fell into a rather hostile camp, as regards the doctrine she preaches, when she came to Hartford, but notwithstanding the opposition which she met, she was given a good sized audience at the court house." A local attorney, Ernest M. Woodward, introduced her and "made a splendid speech in behalf of Equal Rights for Women." Glenn then spoke for thirty minutes and the reporter admitted: "Her remarks were earnest and convincing." She was successful in her quest since the article follows up with the announcement of the creation of the Ohio County suffrage league with the election of Woodward as president, Mrs. Estill Thomas, vice-president, and Miss Margaret Marks, secretary and treasurer. In 1915, Mrs. F.A. Rothier of Covington presented on suffrage at the teachers' institute at Hartford at the District Baptist meeting and at the District meeting of the W.C.T.U. but there was no KERA report from Ohio County ERA in any subsequent years. Local research would be needed to determine the details of this league.

Sterling were asked to sign a card and meet with Breckinridge and Moses on Saturday morning at the Court House. The local newspaper described the open-air meeting on page 1 of the Wednesday paper, and though the editors were complimentary of Mrs. Breckinridge, they were skeptical of the outcomes. "Mrs. Breckinridge is a brilliant woman and her address was very interesting as it was the first of its kind ever heard here. There has been very little interest in the woman's suffrage movement locally and we hardly think it will be a success in this community." (Mt. Sterling Advocate, Jan 28, 1914) Nevertheless, a 1914 KERA list of League Presidents shows Montgomery County with Mrs. Hattie Howell of Mount Sterling as president. Local research is needed since there were no notices from this league in the KERA annual convention reports.

Her daughters Helen Trimble Highton and Frances "Fannie" Trimble Fackler were also active suffragists locally and for the state. Another daughter Kate Trimble Woolsey wrote a pro-suffrage book Republics versus Woman published in 1903.

Kentucky	Bowling Green	Eliza (Lida) Calvert Obenchain	1880-1920	Historic Marker #2240	Kentucky Historical Society's historical marker in Bowling Green to honor suffragist Eliza (Lida) Calvert Obenchain aka Eliza Calvert Hall. This marker stands across the street from the former home of Eliza Calvert Obenchain (1856-1916) at Chestnut Street and 14th Avenue in Bowling Green. Obenchain used her grandmother's birth name for her pen name (Eliza Calvert Hall) when she was writing fiction and poetry. She most often used her husband's last name when she wrote in support of women's rights and to work as the Kentucky Equal Rights Association's press superintendent. Her suffrage work crossed over into her career in fiction and poetry, and sometimes for national publications such as the Woman's Journal or the New York Times she would go by her pen name. The most highly visible of her fiction, "Aunt Jane of Kentucky" (1907) was a powerful cry for women's rights. The National American Woman Suffrage Association republished three of her articles as part of its Political Equality Series.

Maine	Augusta	Florence Brooks Whitehouse; Alice Paul; Maine Senator Percival Baxter; Governor Carl Millikin	November 5, 1919	Maine State House	This is the site of lobbying for woman suffrage over many decades, and where the 19th amendment was finally ratified on November 5, 1919, in a special session. While suffragists had been confident of victory in the weeks leading up to the special session, just days before it opened H.B. Brawn, Secretary of the Maine Federation of Labor, issued a press release calling on the legislature to reject the 19th amendment. The ostensible reason for this was that Maine had an upcoming statewide referendum on Presidential suffrage, and that Mainers should have a chance to vote on that first. Maine suffrage leader Florence Brooks Whitehouse and NWP chair Alice Paul discovered that the MFL had issued the press release without seeking approval of the MFL full membership, which had endorsed suffrage four times and that Brawn worked for a prominent and wealthy anti-suffragist. Alice Paul and Florence Brooks Whitehouse met with Brawn and the MFL President Smith privately and convinced them to retract the statement. The retraction was published in the Kennebec Journal the next morning, and when Maine Senators showed up to vote each member found a copy of the paper, folded open to the retraction, on his desk. It passed by only four votes (the House had passed it the day before).

Maine	Portland	Florence Brooks Whitehouse	January to September 1917	Headquarters- Suffrage Referendum League of Maine, 1917	The Suffrage Referendum League of Maine (SRLM) was established in the fall of 1916 to advocate for passage of Maine's first statewide suffrage referendum. It was intentionally formed to be independent of both the Maine Woman Suffrage Association (affiliated with NAWSA) and the Maine branch of the National Woman's Party. Florence Brooks Whitehouse was the chair and chief organizer. Her friends created the SRLM and voted Florence to be chair when the Maine Woman Suffrage Association decided Florence could not serve a public role in the referendum campaign due to her radical activities (picketing President Wilson and campaigning against him in the fall of 1916). At this time Florence also served as chair of the Maine branch of the National Woman's Party, but since the NWP did not engage in voting rights campaigns she was unable to use it as a vehicle for campaigning for the suffrage referendum. The SRLM was disbanded after the special election for suffrage occurred on September 10, 1917. Both men and women served on the SRLM's board of directors, and included Anne Gannett as vice-president, George Burgess as Secretary, Frederic Freeman as Treasurer, and Louise Freeman on the Executive Board. The advisory committee included Robert Brooks Whitehouse, who was Florence's husband and also chair of the Men's Equal Suffrage League of Maine. Other advisory board members included Guy Gannett (business owner and state representative, Charles S. Stetson (Maine State Grange), Albert Burleigh (President of the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad Co.), and Ralph Brewster (candidate for state representative). The bay windows of the building were an excellent place to display posters of suffrage cartoons done by Frederic Freeman (under the pen name Will Ourcadie). These cartoons were also published in local newspapers including the Daily Eastern Argus and others.

Maryland	Annapolis	unknown	unknown	Maryland State House	The Maryland State House was the site of frequent demonstrations over the course of the woman suffrage campaign. Suffragists used publicity-generating and lobbying tactics to try to sway public opinion and the all-male General Assembly to their cause. Women marched to the State House from Baltimore to demand the vote, delivered petitions, lobbied delegates, and testified in front of committees and large crowds. Legislators repeatedly discarded petitions as frivolous and voted to defeat the measures each time they were raised. In 1920, members of the Maryland General Assembly not only rejected ratification of the 19th Amendment, but lobbied neighboring West Virginia to do the same. After the 19th Amendment passed, one of the state's first 'citizenship schools' for new women voters was held in the Old Senate Chamber in January of 1921.

New York	Geneseo	Nicholas Shaw Fraser, Eleanor Shaw Smith	See above	Shaw Sisters Home	New historical marker installed in honor of the Shaw sisters Nicholas Shaw Fraser and Eleanor Shaw Smith were two sisters who lived at 22 Main Street, Geneseo, in the first half of the 20th century. Both women were actively involved in the community while serving on the front line of two of the largest reform movements that changed America. Nicholas and Eleanor’s involvement and direct connections to the highest levels of the state, national, and international suffrage and temperance organizations were intertwined. Livingston County was a hotbed of progressive social reform in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Local women organized political equality clubs and dozens joined the New York State Woman Suffrage Party, a branch of the national association. State and national suffrage leaders visited often to lecture and network with local women, many of whom also served in state and national leadership positions. The opposition party had a stronghold in the county with the virulently anti-suffrage U.S. Senator James W. Wadsworth Jr. of Geneseo. His wife, Alice Hay Wadsworth, was the highly vocal second president of the national Anti-Suffrage Party. Despite the Wadsworths’ local presence, political clout and deep pockets, the Shaw sisters were not deterred. Nicholas and Eleanor’s enthusiasm for the suffrage and temperance cause was inspired by their trailblazing aunt, Reverend Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, who took her nieces under her wing after their mother died. As a female physician, one of the first female Methodist ministers, and renowned temperance and suffrage leader, Anna Howard Shaw’s far-reaching influence no doubt opened doors for Nicholas and Eleanor. The Shaw sisters in turn used this leverage to empower all women. In the words of their beloved friend and mentor, Susan B. Anthony, they helped to “organize, educate and agitate” until the ultimate goal of winning women the right to vote was achieved. Nicholas Shaw Fraser was born in Paris, Michigan about 1867, the daughter of John and Eudora Shaw. Nicholas worked for ten years as secretary to suffragist Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery and was a graduate of Briarcliff Agricultural School. It was here that she met her future husband Samuel Fraser who worked there as an agriculturalist. She and Samuel married in 1903 in Philadelphia with Rev. Anna Howard Shaw officiating at the wedding. The Frasers lived in Ithaca for a short time where Samuel established the research farm at Cornell University and Nicholas was elected recording secretary of the New York State Suffrage Association. They moved to Geneseo about 1906 where Samuel began large-scale cultivation of vegetables and fruit orchards, authoring books on the same, and building his reputation as an expert horticulturalist. They had a daughter named Rachel after Nicholas’ former employer. Nicholas pursued her passion for suffrage with involvement in club work and as an officer of the state suffrage association. She also found time to work as a bookkeeper for Miss Ellen North’s Geneseo Jam Kitchen. The suffrage work occupied the bulk of her time and energy as Nicholas crisscrossed Livingston County and New York State. In addition, she traveled coast to coast representing New York State and chairing committees at the National Women’s Suffrage conventions. A newspaper article noted that Nicholas Shaw Fraser was ideal to serve as a state suffrage association official because she was efficient, accurate, familiar with shorthand, could type, possessed intellectual power, and displayed rare charm and manners. All these were essential skills to ensure the events at the meetings were properly communicated to the masses. Eleanor Shaw Smith was only a year or so younger than her sister, and like Nicholas, Eleanor gravitated toward Philadelphia to be close to her aunt. She met Raymond Walton Smith, a civil engineer, and the two married in 1894. They had four children together before Raymond died tragically in 1905 as a result of being thrown from a horse. Eleanor’s public involvement in reform movements seemed to begin after becoming widowed and was centered more specifically on temperance, although she was also an active player in the suffrage movement, taking on multiple roles. In the early 1900s Eleanor started attending suffrage conferences in New York and contributed generously to the National American Woman Suffrage Association over which Anna Howard Shaw presided as president. In 1910, Eleanor was involved with the Woman’s Suffrage League of Swarthmore, PA and was a delegate to the Pennsylvania State Suffrage convention. Three years later she embarked on a trans-Atlantic adventure that made headlines as U.S. suffrage leaders along with delegates from 26 countries traveled to Budapest for the International Woman Suffrage Alliance conference. Anna Howard Shaw gave the opening speech on the world stage and the ladies made several stops to address feminist groups in London, Amsterdam, Vienna, and Italy before sailing home. Eleanor left her young children with her sister in Geneseo during her absence abroad and upon returning home made the decision to move to Geneseo and live with Nicholas and Samuel. The large, stately brick home accommodated both families for the rest of the sisters lives. With passage of suffrage in New York State in 1917 the sisters were jubilant but wasted no time in ramping up efforts to ensure passage of a federal amendment to the U.S. Constitution. They also contributed their skills by assisting on the home front in the midst of World War One. Simultaneously, Eleanor led the Livingston County Woman’s Temperance Union (W. C. T. U.) as president and represented the state working to pass yet another federal amendment to prohibit the manufacture, sale or distribution of intoxicating liquors, commonly known as Prohibition. Both the 18th and 19th amendments passed and both sisters rejoiced in victory. Their hard-fought goals were achieved and Nicholas and Eleanor were able to finally give voice to their causes, in the voting booth. The 72-year-long crusade giving women the right to vote was finally over. Unfortunately, their cherished aunt died in July of 1919. She lived just long enough to see ratification of the 18th amendment, but just weeks shy of August 26th when two-thirds of the states approved the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote. Nicholas passed away at 22 Main Street in November of 1943 after a long illness. Eleanor stayed with her brother-in-law Samuel Fraser and continued serving as the Livingston County W.C.T.U. president into the early 1940s, long after repeal of Prohibition in 1933. She also died at 22 Main Street in May of 1948.
