Ueland was a socially prominent wife of a successful Minneapolis attorney and mother of seven children, became president of the Minnesota Woman Suffrage Association in 1914, which was founded in Hastings, Minn.On the pages of this book, those committed suffragists who struggled on with such bountiful imagination, humor, dedication, and vision, take their rightful place in history.
