TODAY'S TRIVIA;

Yesterday's answer: Lydia Marie Child

There is an article of clothing that is associated with my name even though I didn't invent it. Born in 1818 I was an American women's rights and temperance advocate. I came from a family of modest means and received only a few years of formal schooling. I married an attorney at the age of 22. My husband encouraged me to write for his New York newspaper. I spent my early years in New York. We moved to Iowa in 1852. I am commemorated with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth and Harriet Ross Tubman in the calendar of saints of the Episcopal Church. In 1849 I began publishing my views on temperance and social issues in my own bi-weekly publication. While my newspaper initially focused on temperance I allowed Elizabeth to contribute articles on the broader issues of women's rights. My newspaper contained a broad mix of contents ranging from recipes to moralist tracts, including topics such as marriage law reform and higher education for women. My paper circulation was over 4,000. When asked what it was like to be the first woman to own, operate and edit a news vehicle for women, I said. "It was a needed instrument to spread abroad the truth of a new gospel to woman, and I could not withhold my hand to stay the work I had begun. I saw not the end from the beginning and dreamed where to my propositions to society would lead me." In my publication I promoted a change in dress standards for women that would be less restrictive in regular activities. I felt the costume of women should be suited to her wants and needs. Their dress should conduce at once her health, comfort, and usefulness, and while it should not fail to also conduce her personal adornment, it should make that end of secondary importance. I remained a suffrage pioneer and writer throughout my life, writing for a wide array of periodicals. I led suffrage campaigns in Nebraska and Iowa, and served as president of the Iowa Woman Suffrage Association from 1871 until 1873. Susan B. Anthony used my publication as voice for many women reformers. I died in 1894. Who Am I?
