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.
