Clara Bewick Colby (1846 Ð 1916) was the longtime president of the Nebraska Woman Suffrage Association and the founder of the WomanÕs Tribune, the leading American suffrage publication and the official organ of the National Woman Suffrage Association. She was also a poet, literary critic, lecturer, and the first woman to be officially appointed as a war correspondent. As a writer, Colby contributed to The WomanÕs Bible (1895) and wrote articles for magazines including HarperÕs Bazaar and Arena. The present work makes particular note of ColbyÕs involvement with the Federal Suffrage Association and her work with Brown. Octavp/ 116 pp. With frontisportrait of Colby and title-page vignette map showing which areas in North America had achieved womenÕs suffrage. The present work includes ColbyÕs long-form poem, ÒThe Song of the PlainsÓ (pp. 19-29), and a bibliography of ColbyÕs writings (pp. 104-108). PublisherÕs blue cloth titled in gilt. Small spot of light toning to frontisportrait and title-page. Hinge cracking between pages 16 and 17; first gathering somewhat loose. A very good, bright copy. First edition of Olympia BrownÕs biographical sketch of her colleague and personal friend. Brown served as the president of the Federal Suffrage Association when Colby worked with the organization during her later years. Olympia Brown (1835 Ð 1926) was the head of the Wisconsin Suffrage Association, the president of the Federal Suffrage Association between 1903 and 1920, and the first woman to be ordained in the Unitarian Church. She was also a charter member of the American Equal Rights Association. Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone, and other suffragists often called on Brown to lecture because of her strong speaking skills, and in just one summer Brown delivered over 300 speeches while on tour in Kansas. Unlike many suffragists of her generation, Brown was alive to vote after the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment; her final suffrage march was at the 1920 Republican National convention, just two months before the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment.
