| Publisher Description: Mary Jane Whiteley Coggeshall was born on January 17, 1836 on a farm near Milton, Indiana and died in Des Moines, IA on December 22, 1911. She became a suffragette in Des Moines, IA in 1870, five years after leaving Milton, IN. She was a member of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). Mary Jane was prominently connected with Iowa and national women's suffrage movement for 41 years. She died nine years before the Nineteenth Amendment to the US Constitution. In 1990, she was inducted, posthumously, into the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame as "the mother of woman suffrage in Iowa." This book includes her history and rise to the national stage as a prominent suffragette and includes her speeches and observations from those of her time. |
