I sat down with my friend Anna to discuss two leaders in the Washington State suffrage movement in the early 1900's. I tell her about the lives of May Arkwright Hutton, a flamboyant woman who went from rags to riches in Idaho mining, and Emma Smith DeVoe, a woman well known in suffrage organizations and the embodiment of womanly ideals at that time.
