    Reverend Doctor Anna Howard Shaw (1847 - 1919) "A leader in the women's suffrage movement, Shaw was a master orator for social justice, and the first woman to be ordained by the Protestant Methodist Church. She was the first living American woman to be awarded the U.S. Distinguished Service Medal." Source: Anna Howard Shaw -- National Women's Hall of Fame You can read or download her autobiography from Google Books: The Story of a Pioneer

    Thank you Elizabeth Thomsen.
  • In Memoriam: budderflyman said:
    Interesting. She looks a bit masculine, but I do not mean that derogatorily. It perhaps helped her back in those days as very few women received doctorates in any field. Good for you, Dr. Shaw.

    Where did she graduated from?
  • Elizabeth Thomsen said:
    "In 1873, she entered Albion College, paying for her two years of education there by preaching and giving lectures on temperance. In 1876, she left Albion to attend Boston Theological Seminary. Upon graduation, in 1878, as the only woman in her class, she took charge of a church in East Dennis, Massachusetts, but the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church refused her application for ordination because she was a woman. It also took steps to revoke her preaching license. Finally, in 1880, Shaw convinced the Methodist Protestant Church to grant her ordination so she could administer the sacraments and continue her ministry in East Dennis. In addition to ministering at two churches, Shaw earned a medical degree from Boston University in 1886. However, she never practiced medicine."

Susan B. Anthony with seven other women

    This was taken just a few years before Anthony's passing; several of these suffrage leaders didn't live to see women get the vote in 1920. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw (1847-1919), elsewhere in the Commons: Harriet Taylor Upton (1853-1945): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_Taylor_Upton Carrie Chapman Catt (1859-1947): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Chapman_Catt Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_B._Anthony Wonder who the other women were!

Suffrage meeting, New York (LOC)

    Other Bain/LOC photos of visiting British Suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst, addressing (or attempting to address) a rowdy, noisy crowd of young males beside the Subtreasury Building on Wall Street, New York City, on November 27, 1911: In the vehicle with Mrs. Pankhurst were Hariot Stanton Blatch, U. S. Suffragist leader, and the venerable Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. Mrs. Pankhurst made a return visit to America in October, 1913. On that occasion, foolish U. S. immigration officials decided to bar entry to her, holding her at Ellis Island for deportation. This created a cause celebre, and required the personal intervention of U. S. President Woodrow Wilson to admit her for an already-scheduled lecture tour. The publicity helped suffragist fundraising enormously.
