In the land ol “the new lreedom" it,
is dittleult to realize that when Miss
Laura (la). became the tlrst prestdent
ot' the Kentucky Equal Rights, Associa—
tion halt a century ago women could
not make wills‘ could not enter into con~
tracts or own personal property. The
right to vote was hardly k'tll'lb‘lCtG‘l'Cd then
to be even an aim Later Widows were
given the right to vote in school board
elections

In the long tight for suffrage and
for better government, 3115‘: Laura Clay
was an earnest advocate of equal Citi-
zenship tor women.

In these days when the most funda-
mental of all human rights are being
dented in some countries once again, the

n-e in public office upheld and rema-
ntaed not as a gut bestowed lnll as an
inalienable and essential toundation ot‘

In her nineties. A‘Ith’ Laura Clax conu
stderrd the re111tics of Citizenship
as much an obligation as a right Within
