Women Not to Be Denied

By John T. Ryan

If you missed the Saturday, July 31st Champlain Valley Suffrage Centennial Auto Tour opening event this past Saturday, you missed a wonderful presentation. It was held at the Clinton County Historical Association on the Old Base Oval in Plattsburgh.

Historical Association Director Helen Allen Nerska assumed the role of local suffragist Harriet Dudley Bell. She introduced the famous suffragist Susan B. Anthony (Linda McKinney) and local suffragists Marion ‘Dot’ Parkhurst (Ellen Adams), Hannah Straight Lansing (Jan Couture), and Inez Milholland (Sandra Weber). The presentations were enlightening, entertaining, and educational. National and local suffragists, often supported by their husbands, were not to be denied.

The Plattsburgh event was the first of several Auto Tour presentations in Essex and Warren Counties in New York and in Addison and Vergennes, Vermont.
