Description
An account of the resource
Two sisters were among New York’s most prominent society women at the turn of the last century…one a vigorous suffragist, the other an equally committed anti-suffragist. <br /><br />Guess which one founded @<a href="https://twitter.com/BarnardCollege" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BarnardCollege</a>? <br /><br />Maud Nathan and Annie Nathan Meyer descended from an illustrious Sephardi Jewish family with roots dating to before the American Revolution. Benjamin Cardozo and Emma Lazarus were cousins. <br /><br />Maud and Annie’s childhood was chaotic, but they both married wealthy men they liked--and settled into lives as upper-class, society matrons - dues-paying members of the Daughters of the American Revolution. <br /><br />But they were both restless, and both radical. We’ll meet Maud Nathan today; Annie Nathan Meyer tomorrow. <br /><br />Maud’s life revolved around society galas and summers in Saratoga Springs - until her only child died at 8 years old. <br /><br />Her friend Josephine Shaw Lowell, a founder of the New York Consumers League, urged Maud to direct her grief into supporting working women. <br /><br />By 1897 Maud was president of the NY Consumers League, a post she held for 30 years. The League worked to improve working conditions and enlist consumers in taking responsibility for the conditions in factories and stores. <br /><br />Maud scandalized her family by embracing suffrage. <br /><br />She even defended the radical tactics the Pankhursts were using in the UK. She noted: “While the suffragettes were quiet and well behaved, members of the House of Commons paid no attention to them...†<br /><br />Here is Maud in 1913 at the Intl Suffrage Convention in Budapest.<br /><br />Her husband Frederick shared her convictions, co-founding the Men’s League for Equal Suffrage. Together they marched down 5th Avenue--pretty shocking for their class--and attended suffrage conventions. He was undeterred when newspapers snidely referred to him as Mr. Maud Nathan. <br /><br />After he died, Maud spent 25 years with her partner Corinne Johnson.ðŸ³ï¸â€ðŸŒˆThey bought a house in Litchfield, Conn., started a community action group and supported the local schools. <br /><br />Meanwhile, Annie continued her own activism - radical and contradictory in many ways. Stay tuned!Â
