Thursday, November 12- "A Room of One's Own" day 3





Harriet "Hattie" Redmond (1862-1952)

Harriet “Hattie” Redmond was a leader in the long struggle 

for Oregon woman suffrage, especially during the successful

 campaign of 1912. The right to vote was especially

 important o Redmond as a black woman living in a state that

 had codified black exclusion laws in its constitution. 

Redmond’s work for voting rights helped lay the groundwork 

for the Black Civil Rights movement of the mid-twentieth 

century.
