Description
|
Dora Kelly Lewis was an ardent supporter of women’s suffrage. She was active in the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) before joining the National Woman’s Party (NWP), where she served as chairman of finance, national treasurer, and head of the ratification committee. Her correspondence to family members details her advocacy and experiences while campaigning for women's rights. In this letter, Dora expresses her dismay over the NWP's lobbying efforts at the Georgia legislature, but finds consolation in knowing that they did all they could do to promote their agenda.
