Summary

The focus on suffragists from upstate New York was a conscious decision that I made, based on my own research and desire to highlight lesser known people within the movement. I was inspired to put faces to the over 70 names I had uncovered in meeting notices and articles in Warren County newspapers by creating embroidered portraits of suffragists throughout New York State. So far, I have embroidered six Warren County women.
