Feedback In Honor of Great Women by Jo Freeman The contributions of nineteen women to American life over four centuries were highlighted on October 7 when they were inducted into the Women's Hall of Fame. Among them were Attorney General Janet Reno (1938- ), suffragist and preacher Anna Howard Shaw(1847-1919), civil war surgeon Mary Edwards Walker (1832-1919), and two retired Air Force generals Jeanne Holm (1921- ) and Wilma Vaught (1930- ). They bring to 176 the number of American women so honored "whose contributions to the arts, athletics, business, education, government, the humanities, philanthropy and science, have been the greatest value of the development of their country." The Hall of Fame was created in 1969 by the citizens of Seneca Falls, New York, home of the 1848 women's rights convention which wrote the Declaration of Sentiments, and of the 1923 National Woman's Party conference where the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced. For many years the New York Chiropractic College housed the Hall. After purchasing a former bank building in 1979 it moved to Fall street in downtown Seneca Falls. Inside are photographs of the women it honors and other exhibits on the achievements of American women.

104. Suffrage Movement In Albion Eghast! One of the local committee s first guest speakers was Anna HowardShaw (18471919), who delivered a rousing suffrage speech on September 5. http://www.albionmich.com/history/histor_notebook/001022.shtml

SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT IN ALBION Morning Star, October 22, 2000, pg. 19 Here we are again in the midst of a political campaign season. What was the big political issue 90 years ago? Albion's women banded together in 1912 in their quest for the right to vote. That November, Michigan's male voters (that's all there were back then) voted on an amendment to the Michigan Constitution to allow the Michigan legislature to pass legislation to allow women to vote. Michigan's women had to convince their husbands to let them vote. It involved more than cooking delicious dinners for them as a persuasive measure. The Albion Suffrage Campaign was launched on Monday, August 27 1912 under the direction of the Albion Equal Suffrage Committee. Headed by Mrs. F. T. Carlton, the group met at the Women's Christian Temperance Building on E. Erie St. The "kick-off" speaker was Albion College professor C. H. Woolbert, head of the English department. He focused upon the methods that Albion women were going to use in their campaign. He encouraged local Albion men to come forward in public and identify with the suffrage movement. Eghast! One of the local committee's first guest speakers was Anna Howard Shaw (1847-1919), who delivered a rousing suffrage speech on September 5. Shaw, of course was the president of the National American Woman's Suffrage Association. She had also attended Albion College from 1873 to 1875. She was introduced here by Mrs. Frank Carlton, president of the local Suffrage committee. In her remarks, Shaw stated, "If women are going to do anything they must have tools, and the ballot which is the greatest tool that man has, should be for women also. The time has come when the ballot is essential for successful homemaking and child raising. Men want modern things but they wish women to be content with all old-fashioned things. Women change the same as men, and should have the same privileges."
