A first-person account from Jessie Haver Butler, a suffragist on the front lines of the women's movement in 1920, with Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt. During her long life devoted to women's rights, Jessie lectured several times alongside George Bernard Shaw, Eleanor Roosevelt, Gloria Steinem and Marlo Thomas.Jessie escaped a childhood of unthinkable tragedies on a Colorado cattle ranch and went on to attend Smith College, which propelled her into the center of the fight for the rights of women.Inspired by meeting Susan B. Anthony at age ten, she later worked side by side with Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt. When women won the right to vote on August 18, 1920, Jessie became the first official woman lobbyist at the Capitol in Washington, D. C. She earlier helped establish the Pulitzer School of Journalism and set the first minimum wage for women.Jessie went on to live in London, where she shared the podium with George Bernard Shaw, attended parties with Emily Pankhurst, influenced Queen Mary, and met her lifelong friend, Lady Astor. Jessie later taught thousands of women the art of public speaking. She wrote "Time to Speak Up" and lectured alongside Eleanor Roosevelt, Gloria Steinem, and Marlo Thomas. She spoke out for women's rights throughout her life and well into her nineties.Jessie Haver Butler was an extraordinary woman, who lived her life with a spirit of adventure and open-mindedness. She was a mother, wife, and active community member, and her story weaves these threads together to complete her compelling journey-from cowgirl to Congress.
