More Description

Clara Colby was born in England, graduated as valedictorian of the first woman's class at the University of Wisconsin and became a writer, publisher, teacher, public speaker and friend of many leading figures of her day. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the founders on the suffrage movement in America became Clara Colby's mentors. Her journey is an epic saga of untiring and heroic endeavor, sometimes under the most adverse circumstances, in the United States and in her native England. She suffered great injustice, but she never complained, and her accomplishments contributed significantly to the successful introduction of the Nineteenth Amendment. This book is a richly compelling portrait of one of the forgotten soldiers of the sisterhood and one which all women voters should read.
