Additional Comments |
"I wasn't in the suffragette category, and politics never was my cup of tea." She made suffrage and political history anyway, becoming the first woman to vote in the United States after the ratification of the 19th Amendment! Marguerite was a very loving, family woman. A guiding light to her daughter, husband, and four grandchildren. A woman with class, charisma, sharp wit, and intelligence |
