The Reverend Olympia Brown was the first woman to be ordained by the Northern Universalist Denomination. In 1866 she helped found the American Equal Rights Association and in that same year called for a convention in November that led to the formation of the New England Woman Suffrage Association. She was elected president of the state Woman Suffrage Association and served for the next 34 years.
These memoirs are loosely-organized first-hand reminiscences by one of the early key figures in the movement. Of particular note is her account of Victoria Woodhull and the suffragists.

In “Female Suffrage in New Jersey”, the author recounts the work of Mrs. Lucy Stone and Mrs. H. B. Blackwell to examine the history of suffrage in the state of New Jersey. Until the state changed its constitution in 1844, “all inhabitants without distinction of either sex or race, possessing fifty pounds worth of property each, and twelve months’ residence in the state,” possessed the right to vote in all elections. In 1847-1848 the state legislature passed a law forbidding women and African Americans from voting.

Cook was a suffragist and one of the first women to open a Wall Street brokerage firm.
