Harriot Stanton Blatch Life and Accomplishments
Harriot Stanton Blatch was a noteworthy woman of the nineteenth century. Born in 1856 to Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the women's rights activist, it may be argued Harriot learned from her mother and followed in her footsteps to become a suffragette and advocate of gender equality (DuBois, 1999). Harriot was born in Seneca Falls, New York, the sixth of seven children (Anonymous, 2016). During her early years she received a good education, graduating from Vassar College in 1878 with a degree in mathematics (DuBois, 1999). She then went to Boston school for all Tory for one year, and a move to Germany where she worked as a tutor (DuBois, 1999).

She is most known for her work in United States, which was undertaken after returning 1902. At this time the Suffrage movement in U.S. had lost its momentum. Initially she joined the Women's Trade Union League part of the leadership (DuBois, 1999). In 1907 she became more active, founding the Equality League of Self-Supporting Women, which was later to become the Women's Political Union, an organisation targeting equality, by encouraging working-class women to join the women's rights movement. Harriet effectively engaged with, mobilise, working women, as seen with the 1910 New York Suffrage Parade, as well as many other militant street protests (Frost-Knappman and Cullen-DuPont, 2002). The union, which merged with other women's rights groups in 1915, actively lobbied for women's votes, being instrumental in New York in 1917. During the First World War Harriot supported the war…
