WILLARD, Mrs. Allie C.
Description
An account of the resource
<span>Alice "Allie" C. Rosseter Willard was born on April 13, 1860, near Nauvoo, Illinois. 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.</span><br /><br /><span>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, </span><em>The Loup City Times,<span> </span></em><span>writing editorials and articles. </span><br /><br /><span>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</span><em><span> </span>The Loup City Times</em><span>. 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.</span><br /><br /><span>In addition, Allie was active with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, advocated for other reforms, and participated in philanthropic work.</span><br /><br /><span>After meeting many people during her travels abroad, Allie became associated with </span><em>The London Signal</em><span>,</span><span> owned by Lady Henry Somerset, in 1895.</span><br /><br /><span>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.</span><br /><br /><span>Her "</span><a href="https://archive.org/details/ourownladysketch00will/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Our Own Lady"<span> </span></em></a><span>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 <em>our</em> own lady." Bertha Elizabeth Duppler Baur was a successful businesswoman, political activist, and suffrage advocate who was living in Chicago at the time.</span><br /><br /><span>Allie passed away in Chicago on September 12, 1936.</span>

Description
An account of the resource
<span>Dr. Cora Belle Brewster was born in Almond, New York on September 6, 1859. She attended Alfred University and became a teacher in Smethport, Pennsylvania. Next, Cora Belle attended Northwestern University, where she decided to change career paths and went into business as a purchasing agent. A few years later, when she moved to Baltimore, Cora Belle began the study of medicine that led her to become a doctor. After starting at the Medical College for Women in Baltimore, she decided to move to Boston to study at The College of Physicians and Surgeons. Her training also included a stint at Bellevue Hospital in New York City.<br /><br />As Dr. Cora Belle began her medical career in the mid-1880s, she established a joint practice in Baltimore with</span><span> her sister Dr. Flora A.

She was an early member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of DC. serving as its treasurer in 1881 and as its president by 1885.

Description
An account of the resource
<span>Stella A. Gaines Fifield was born in Paw Paw, Michigan on June 1, 1845. </span><span>She later lived in Taylor Falls, Minnesota and graduated from Chicago Seminary, Minnesota. </span><br /><br /><span>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 <em>The Polk County Press</em>, a paper he edited. She also contributed to his next newspaper, <em>The Bayfield Press</em>. </span><span>In 1871,</span><em> </em><span>Samuel and Stella were two of the original settlers of Ashland, Wisconsin. When <em>The Bayfield Press</em> became </span><em>The Ashland Press</em><span> in 1872, Stella was affiliated with this paper. From 1877, when Sam started </span><em>The</em><span> </span><em>Bayfield Press</em><span> again, to 1880, she wrote for both papers. Speaking of Stella, the </span><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=kysEAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA4&lpg=PA4&dq=Stella+Grimes+Fifield&source=bl&ots=hUJrXedO0M&sig=AGu144dTTF1qHn5utKuDpCHvay0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjQgNDsoZjUAhVJ2IMKHV-1CP0Q6AEISDAI#v=onepage&q=Stella%20Grimes%20Fifield&f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Commemorative Biographical Record of the Upper Lake Region</em><span> </span></a><span>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).</span><br /><br /><span>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. </span><br /><br /><span>Stella and Sam established a camping resort, Camp Stella, on Sand Island in 1886. As Jane Celia Busch explains:</span><br /><br /><span>"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 <em>Stella</em> was used for transportation from the mainland and for pleasure cruises around the islands" (310-311).</span><br /><br /><span>The Fifields also enjoyed trips with others.

Description
An account of the resource
<span>Ella Bagnell Kendrick, a native of Plymouth, Massachusetts, graduated from Plymouth High School when she was just sixteen. 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.</span><br /><br /><span>While her </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> profile heading lists Ella as a temperance reformer, she was involved in many activities and causes. </span><br /><br /><span>Just as she had worked with her husband's business when she lived in Meriden, Ella became associate editor of her husband's periodical, </span><em>New England Home</em><span>, when they settled in Hartford. She utilized her editorial experience in 1899 when she became editor of </span><a href="https://archive.org/details/talkstales6111unse" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Talks and Tales</em></a><span>, "a monthly magazine composed as to text and type entirely by the blind" (</span><em>Evening Star</em><span>,</span><em> </em><span>December 28, 1899).</span><br /><br /><span>An education advocate, Ella wrote to </span><em>Woman's Journal</em><span> in 1896 about the many Connecticut women involved on educational boards in the state.</span><br /><br /><span>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.</span><br /><br /><span>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.</span><br /><br /><span>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</span><em> Norwich Bulletin</em><span> reported: "[s]he gave a most interesting talk, citing instances to show the way it has been used for good in many places."</span><br /><span> </span><br /><span>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.</span><br /><br /><span>As Ella's </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> 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).</span>

Description
An account of the resource
<span>Eliza </span><span class="il">Trask</span><span> Hill, a native of Warren, Massachusetts, was born on May 10, 1840. 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.</span><br /><br /><span>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. </span><br /><br /><span>Despite her domestic responsibilities, Eliza found time to toil for the many causes she believed in. As her </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> 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 </span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84023253/1887-07-28/ed-1/seq-4/#date1=1789&sort=date&date2=1963&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=2&words=Eliza+Trask&proxdistance=5&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Eliza+Trask&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a><span> in the </span><em>St. Johnsbury Caledonian</em><span> discussed how she and Ellen M.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Mrs. Emily Thornton Charles was a prodigious author, poet, journalist and editor. Emily, born in Lafayette, Indiana on March 21st, 1845, liked to write in rhyme as a child and was recognized for her writing skills and her ease at expressing herself. <br /><br />She attended the free schools of Indianapolis and at the age of sixteen she became a teacher. However, she did not begin publishing until the death of her husband, Daniel B. Charles, a well-known business man in Indianapolis. Mrs. Charles was left a widow at twenty-four years of age, in 1874. At that time she was in poor health. As the provider for two children, she realized she needed a career and discovered she could convert her facility with writing into a successful career in newspapers.</p>
<p>From there she went on in 1876 to publish her first work <em>Hawthorne Blossoms</em>, in Philadelphia. She wrote under the name Emily Thornton and under the nom de plume: Hawthorne. She has the distinction of establishing and operating "The National Veteran" in Washington, D.C. Due to her absorption in her work in 1883, she became overwrought and was confined to her bed. Not one to be idle, Emily Thornton Charles used this time to revise and edit her poetry. The result was <em>Lyrical Poems</em> (Philadelphia, 1886) a 300-page book that established her as a national poet. At the same time she became a popular lecturer/public speaker, addressing large gatherings, including the National Women's Suffrage Convention with her poetical address "Women's Sphere". Her oratory was such that in 1893, she was selected as a speaker in the World's Columbian Exposition.</p>
<p>Emily was a member of the National Women's Press Association, The Grand Army of the Republic and Order of the Eastern Star.</p>
