Description
An account of the resource
Remember Elizabeth Meriwether, the suffragist who helped start the Memphis chapter of the Ku Klux Klan? She shared her home with her brother- & sister-in-law, Lide Smith Meriwether. Lide was as devoted a suffragist as Elizabeth, and more progressive. <br /><br />Lide devoted much of the 1870s to supporting local sex workers (forgive the anachronism) and their children. Her view of “fallen women” was progressive for its time: she believed prostitution was a result of economic need, not inherently low morals. <br /><br />By 1886 Eliz. & her husband had moved to St. Louis. Maybe Lide felt freer to do cross-racial work without them around, because she expanded her activism to the Knights of Labor. KofL was challenging the rapaciousness of RR barons like Jay Gould. It was integrated and co-ed. <br /><br />KofL held “large, festive, interracial gatherings throughout the South replete with parades that included black women who rode in carriages…” (Paula Giddings) Ida B Wells attended a meeting in Memphis where she was treated “with the courtesy usually extended to white ladies.”<br /><br />One of the speakers that day was Lide Meriwether. Lide was state president of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. Under her leadership WCTU organized its 1st Black chapters in the South. A meeting she chaired in 1886 was probably the 1st interracial women's mtng in Memphis. WCTU had a fraught relationship with suffrage, but it was the place to organize respectable women in conservative Memphis. <br /><br />It took Lide 3 years, but she managed to add a suffrage plank to WCTU’s platform. In 1889 she formed the first suffrage club in Memphis, with 50 members. Lide was truly the face of the white women’s suffrage movement in Tennessee for the rest of the century. She toured the state in the 1890s as a paid organizer for NAWSA, and presided over state suffrage conventions, where she was elected “honorary president for life.” <br /><br />Lide is honored on the <a href="https://www.thenorthstar.com/a-new-monument-in-tennessee-highlights-black-women-in-the-suffrage-movement/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Women’s Suffrage Trail</a> @<a href="https://twitter.com/TNSuffrageTrail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TNSuffrageTrail</a>. @<a href="https://twitter.com/MichelleDuster" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MichelleDuster</a> wrote about the expansion of the trail, which now honors Lide alongside Ida B Wells & Mary Church Terrell (and Elizabeth Meriwether):<br /><br />Lastly, b/c I can’t make this stuff up: Lide’s daughter Virginia eloped in 1882 (her sister eloped the same night!) Virginia immediately realized she’d made a mistake & returned. Her new husband pursued her, armed. She got hold of his gun, he brandished another, and she shot him. <br /><br />As he lay dying, he acknowledged she had fired in self-defense. In Memphis, Virginia Meriwether was talk of the town. She moved to New York and enrolled in the Blackwell sisters’ medical school. At her death in 1949 she was the oldest practicing woman doctor in New York.

When the Statue of Liberty rose in New York Harbor in 1886, suffragists protested. Her presence, they observed, “points afresh to the cruelty of woman’s present position, since it is proposed to represent Freedom as a majestic female form in a State where not one woman is free.” <br /><br />Lillie Devereux Blake led the protest at the ceremony. She reported: “[Our boat] floating the woman suffrage flag was one of the first steamers to reach Bedloe’s Island, where it assumed one of the best positions, directly in front of the great bronze statue.” <br /><br />“At the prow of our boat there floated a long white pennon bearing on it the letters ‘New York State Woman Suffrage Association.’ It was worth much of effort and of toil to see that banner flying on that day before the front of our woman Liberty.” #Suffrage100

An account of the resource
When Anna Howard Shaw was a young woman, she wore pants and short hair. She gave it up eventually because she got too many comments, but she couldn’t hide her ambition, and her certainty she could do better than a man. <br /><br />Turn-of-the-century thread. <br /><br />She came from iconoclasts: her mother’s British family were Unitarians in a world where everyone was an Anglican. “Anna’s grandmother stood by each year while some of her furniture was taken to be sold for the Church of England tithes which she refused to pay.” (Flexner) <br /><br />If religious nonconformity is inherited, maybe Anna got it from her grandmother. Anna heard Rev. Marianna Thompson preach in rural Michigan, and by 1871 she was licensed to preach in the Methodist church. Her family was angry she left Unitarianism (which didn't ordain women yet). <br /><br />They offered to pay her way to the University of Michigan if she’d give up the ministry. She declined. <br /><br />Anna struggled, hungry, through 2 years of divinity school at @<a href="https://twitter.com/BUTheology" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUTheology</a> - she was denied the financial aid men got. She applied for full ordination in the Methodist Episcopal Church; when she appealed that rejection they revoked her preacher’s license. She was ordained, grudgingly, in the Methodist Protestant Church. <br /><br />She quit the ministry after 7 years. It was too hard “to fight the church in addition to the devil.” <br /><br />Also, she was intellectually restless and wanted a new challenge. In 1883 she went back to Boston University @<a href="https://twitter.com/BU_Tweets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BU_Tweets</a> this time to @<a href="https://twitter.com/BUmedical" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUMedical</a>. <br /><br />She got her MD in 1886 and was known as Rev. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw for the rest of her life. <br /><br />She was a protege of Susan B Anthony’s, who recruited her for her preaching skill. The movement needed orators. <br /><br />Susan B sent Anna Shaw to California to lead the heartbreaking 1896 referendum fight. With a train pass provided by the widow of the Southern Pacific Railroad she traveled the state, lecturing daily. Her letters to her lover Lucy Anthony, Susan B’s niece, describe the travails of that and so many other state campaigns. <br /><br />Shaw vied with Carrie Chapman Catt to succeed Susan B as head of NAWSA. Eventually Shaw got the job - and was a disaster. <br /><br />The movement needed leadership, not just great speeches, to fill the void left by Stanton & Anthony. In Eleanor Flexner’s words: “Dr. Shaw’s devotion was complete and her gifts were many, but administrative ability was not among them.” <br /><br />Under Shaw’s leadership, NAWSA descended into ever-more explicitly racist policies. In 1903, Black women were barred from attending the annual convention in New Orleans. (Adella Hunt Logan snuck in and reported back.) <br /><br />NAWSA had sunk to endorsing a states’ rights approach to voting, Jim Crow and all. In New Orleans, Rev. Shaw said, “Never before in the history of the world have men made former slaves the political masters of their former mistresses.” <br /><br />She kept company with women who shared her views. <br /><br />Eleanor Flexner was graciously vague about the lesbian sisterhood to which she belonged. “In 1903 Anna Shaw built a home at Moylan, Pa., which she and Lucy Anthony shared until her death. Other friends included many of the leading women reformers of her day. President M. Carey Thomas of Bryn Mawr College was a close associate in later years.” <br /><br />Carey Thomas was a big ol’ dyke, and also a racist and an anti-Semite. These things aren’t mutually exclusive. <br /><br />Ironically, the United Methodist Church announced this year that it is divorcing itself - splitting in half as the only way to resolve longstanding conflict over LGBTQ clergy. Yet we have always been present, since 1880 at least. <br /><br />After Anna’s death, Lucy Anthony commissioned a stained glass window in her honor for the Methodist Protestant Church in Tarrytown, NY. <br /><br />The image is of the Annunciation, and the inscription reads: “Commemorating the brave, strong stand of this church in ordaining Anna Howard Shaw, whom other churches persistently refused to ordain.” <br /><br />The window now resides in the stairwell at BU Theology School where Anna once collapsed from hunger on her way to class. Nearby is the Anna Howard Shaw Center for women in ministry. #Suffrage100
