Remembering Inez:
The Last Campaign of Inez Milholland, Suffrage Martyr Autographed by the editor, Robert P.J. Cooney
Selections from The Suffragist, 1916
Edited with an Introduction by Robert P. J. Cooney, Jr. Author of "Winning the Vote: The Triumph of the American Woman Suffrage Movement"
Remembering Inez pays tribute to vibrant New York attorney and prominent suffrage leader Inez Milholland, who died in Los Angeles of pernicious anemia 99 years ago while campaigning for women's right to vote. Using suffragists' own words, the book presents intimate first-person articles, speeches, and emotional memorials that appeared in issues of The Suffragist, the weekly publication of the National Woman's Party. Remembering Inez also includes the classic address Inez delivered during her final speaking tour in 1916. In her historic "Appeal to the Women Voters of the West," she passionately advocated gender solidarity among women and called for a controversial boycott of Democratic candidates because their party refused to support the Nineteenth Amendment.
The book features 24 photographs of Inez and her times from the Library of Congress and closes with a poem by Carl Sandberg. An original Introduction briefly outlines Inez's life and summarizes her importance in the struggle for equal rights. She came to symbolize the unrelenting commitment that finally won Votes for Women nationally in 1920. Remembering Inez is part of the drive to educate the country about the woman suffrage movement and to prepare for the suffrage centennial in 2020. 2015 marks 100 years since the exciting if unsuccessful "Empire State Campaign" in New York that Inez was a part of, 2016 is the centennial of her death, and 2017 marks the centennial of the measure finally passing there.
