Harriot Stanton Blatch (Jan. 20, 1856 - Nov. 20, 1940)


Harriot Stanton Blatch, daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, founded the Equality League of Self Supporting Women in 1907. The league's membership consisted of 20,000 working women in New York City. She worked tirelessly recruiting women to the suffrage movement, organizing parades in Albany, and urging women to go to work.
