Exposed in Ohio newspapers for an affair with a married man, Alice Chenowyth refused to cower in shame. Instead she changed her name to Helen Hamilton Gardener, moved to New York, pretended to be married to her lover, and became a wildly popular lecturer and author, brazenly opposed to sexist piety and propriety. The "Harriet Beecher Stowe of Fallen Women," she supported raising the age of sexual consent for girls (from twelve or younger), decried double standards of sexual morality, and debunked scientists' claims that women's brains were inferior. With liberal doses of feminine charm, Gardner networked tirelessly to persuade Woodrow Wilson and other male politicians to support the Nineteenth Amendment. Her effort, according to suffrage leader Carrie Pitt, was "the most potent factor" in its passage. As more women enter politics than ever before, Kimberly A. Hamlin recovers the wildly entertaining and illuminating life of a brilliant, effective woman-all but forgotten-who paved the way"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Gardener, Helen H. $q (Helen Hamilton), $d 1853-1925. 650 0 $a Suffragists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women intellectuals $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Sex customs $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 6 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909061351.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20201215011033.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200805010513.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200702012549.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20200409011257.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200317011216.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4724AEE681411EA9E1E8D0A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
