William Kennedy Brown Papers
William Kennedy Brown discusses a review of the work of Frances Willard, an educator and member of the temperance and women’s suffrage movements, that appeared in the Philadelphia Press. Brown compares the leadership styles of three women in the suffrage movement to those of three contemporary men, saying that the followers of Willard and General George McClellan were inspired by loyalty, the followers of Mary Livermore and Ulysses Grant by an intellectual decision, and the followers of Susan B. Anthony and Abraham Lincoln by the heroic nature of their lives.

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.
