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.

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.
