A work detailing the life and efforts of one of the earliest American suffragettes, Madeline McDowell Breckinridge. Breckinridge was born in Kentucky and was the great-granddaughter of statesman Henry Clay. While studying in Lexington, Breckinridge met husband Desha and his brother Sophonisba. Together, the three used The Lexington Herald newspaper to bring awareness to social and political issues happening at the time. Breckinridge achieved many accomplishments in Kentucky for women's suffrage and was present to vote in 1920 before passing away the same year.
