An Incident With Its Sequel (2), William Kennedy Brown
William Kennedy Brown Papers
William Kennedy Brown describes an 1869 meeting with Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Stanton wanted to convince Martha McClellan Brown, who was in New York at the time, to join her in advocating for women’s suffrage. William Kennedy Brown argued that by aligning herself with Cady Stanton she would damage her reputation among evangelical women. He felt that his wife would more effectively advance the cause of suffrage by continuing her efforts to organize the Women’s Christian Temperance Union.

Anthony and Abraham Lincoln by the heroic nature of their lives.

At the time, Brown had argued that affiliation with Stanton would damage his wife’s credibility with evangelical women and her ability to advance the cause of suffrage through her efforts to organize the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. Brown goes on to outline the subsequent development of that organization and its impact on the women’s suffrage movement.
Ex-President Cleveland Profited By Woman’S Work, William Kennedy Brown
Ex-President Cleveland Profited By Woman’S Work, William Kennedy Brown
William Kennedy Brown Papers
William Kennedy Brown argues that former president Grover Cleveland should respect the work of women in political reform movements because he benefited from that work in the 1884 presidential election. In that election, Cleveland won New York, in part because the temperance candidate split off a small part of the Republican vote, elevating him to the Presidency. Martha McClellan Brown was deeply involved in the New York temperance movement in the years leading up to 1884. The essay was written ca. 1884.
