Biography
She was born around 1885.
In 1912 while trying to rescue a prostitute she was severely beaten: "serious and permanent damage ... a fracture of the alveolar process of the upper jaw bone which caused severe neurities [sic] with persistent neuralgic pain both day and night ... likewise causing the loss of all the teeth of the upper jaw on one side of the face."[7]
In 1914 she participated in one of the Suffrage Hikes from Manhattan to Albany, New York.[8]
In 1929, she was awarded a gold medal by the National Institute of Social Science.[3]
In 1934 she was found living in poverty, and a retirement fund was established for her.[9]
In 1937 she was awarded a silver cup by Edith Claire Bryce (1880-1960) of the Peace House for her "deeds of courage without violence".[10]
