Anna Howard Shaw, American Suffragette

Anna Howard Shaw (February 14, 1847 - July 2, 1919) was a suffragette, physician and one of the first ordained female Methodist ministers in the United States. Susan B. Anthony encouraged her to join the NAWSA. In 1915, she resigned as NAWSA president and was replaced by her ally Carrie Chapman Catt. During WWI, Shaw was head of the Women's Committee of the US Council of National Defense, for which she became the first woman to earn the Distinguished Service Medal. Shaw died only a few months before Congress ratified the 19th Amendment. Bain News Service, 1915-1920.
