Description
Elizabeth Millar Cameron, an editor, a publisher, and a temperance and women's rights reformer, was born in Niagara, Ontario, Canada on March 8, 1851, to Scottish parents. She married John Cameron and became the mother of five children. The Camerons lived in London, Ontario, Canada.
Bessie, as she was known, and Agnes Ethelwn Wetherald worked together as publishers of the journal Our Wives and Daughters. As Elizabeth's A Woman of the Century profile notes:
"As presiding genius of that journal, her mission has been and is to stimulate women to become, not only housekeepers in the highest sense, but to be better furnished mentally by systematic good reading, more intelligent as mothers, well informed concerning the chief wants of the day and thoroughly equipped intellectually and spiritually for all the duties of womanhood" (146).
When she wasn't working to fulfill that ambitious goal, Elizabeth was serving as a leader in the London Woman's Christian Temperance Union, participating in women's reading groups, and spending time with her family.
Bessie moved to Port Huron, Michigan, in 1927. She passed away in Evanston, Illinois on November 17, 1929, and was buried in Chicago, Illinois.
