CLARA COLBY by John Holliday

Clara Colby was born in England, graduated as valedictorian
of the first woman’s class at the University of Wisconsin, and
became a writer, publisher, teacher, public speaker, and friend of
many leading figures of her day. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, the founders of the suffrage movement in America, became Clara Colby’s mentors. Her journey is an epic saga of
untiring and heroic endeavor, sometimes under the most adverse
circumstances, across the United States, and her native England.
She suffered great injustice, but she never complained, and her
accomplishments contributed significantly to the successful introduction of the Nineteenth Amendment.
