Inez Milholland (Vassar and Greenwich)

 This is the Vassar website that provided a considerable amount of the information I presented for the class.   The article goes into greater detail about Inez's college life and how her associations with Harriet Stanton Blatch helped bring the discussion for women's rights to Vassar.   The article talks about the creepy atmosphere, at Midnight in an old cemetery, which the suffragists were relegated since their topics of choice were taboo at the time. 


I also found it immensely interesting to learn the Inez attended law school in Greenwich Village, a region in New York that is infamous for unorthodox characters and progressive culture  (see especially the post war and modern section of Wiki-link). Mark Twain, the first racially integrated club in America, the Beat writers and the subsequent Beatnik culture all have some roots in Greenwich.   This area was also the location of the Stonewall Inn, which was the epicenter of the infamous riots that marked the turning point in the gay and lesbian rights movement in America.
