- Description:
- Inez Milholland Boissevain, pictured here in a memorial poster as she appeared at the March 1913 woman suffrage parade in Washington D.C., was a symbol, ambassador, and later martyr of the woman suffrage movement. In 1916, despite ill health, she agreed to an arduous tour through twelve western Equal Suffrage states to promote the cause. She collapsed on stage in Los Angeles that September while giving a speech for the National Woman’s party and died ten weeks later.
