Product Overview
Remembering Inez: The Last Campaign of Inez Milholland, Suffrage Martyr
Edited with an Introduction by Robert P.J. Cooney, Jr.
Author of "Winning the Vote: The Triumph of the American Woman Suffrage Movement"
'Remembering Inez' pays tribute to vibrant New York attorney and prominent suffrage leader Inez Milholland, who died in Los Angeles of pernicious anemia on November 25, 1916, while campaigning for women's right to vote.
Using suffragists' own words, the book presents intimate first-person articles, speeches, and emotional memorials that appeared in issues of The Suffragist, the weekly publication of the National Woman's Party. 'Remembering Inez' also includes the classic speech Inez delivered during her final speaking tour in 1916.
The book features 24 photographs of Inez and her times from the Library of Congress and closes with a poem by Carl Sandburg. An original introduction briefly outlines Inez's life and summarizes her importance in the struggle for equal rights. She came to symbolize the unrelenting commitment that finally won the votes for women nationally in 1920.
