Pioneer, Entrepreneur, Suffragette

This is the portable Blickenderfer typewriter Abagail Scott Duniway used to prepare her arguments for equitable wages for women; write articles for her weekly feminist newspaper New Northwest; and prepare lectures for nationwide organizing events.

"Outspoken and often controversial... Duniway is remembered as Oregon's Mother of Equal Suffrage and "the pioneer Woman Suffragist of the great Northwest." Duniway devoted over forty years to the cause of women's rights." (Oregon Encyclopedia)

Something Worth Doing, written by Jane Kirkpatrick is a well-researched, and engaging novel about Duniway's life.

Abagail Scott Duniway and Susan B. Anthony in Oregon: Hesitate No Longer, by Jennifer Chambers describes Duniway and Anthony's suffrage travels and friendship during their work together in the late 1800's.

Yours for Liberty, are selections from Duniway's New Northwest newspaper.
