Parallel Lives in the Fight for Suffrage
A Tour of Historic Eden Cemetery and The Woodlands
In honor of the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment giving Women the right to vote, this digital tour features two women, and two cemeteries. Frances Ellen Watkins Harper and Mary Grew were both leaders in the abolitionist movement and the fight for women’s right to vote in the 19th century. Their lives overlapped as they were working towards the same goals, and this tour will reflect that in their activist activities, organizational affiliations, conferences they attended, their careers in education, and even the churches they belonged to. This tour explores Frances Harper’s and Mary Grew's contributions to the abolitionist and suffragist movements.
