| biography:
| Suffragist and civil rights activist, born in Palestine, Texas, USA. She studied at Southwestern College (1902). By linking feminism to racial justice, she made lynching a southern white women's issue. She became director of the Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation Women's Committee (1929) and founded the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching (1930–42). She remained politically active until 1968. |
