Hannah J. Price (1872-1931) TN

Hannah J Price
  • Founded the Equal Suffrage League of Morristown, Tennessee.
  • October 29, 1911 edition of the Knoxville Tennessee Journal and Tribune reported:
    • Some weeks ago, Miss Price made a canvass of the club women of the city in the interest of the suffrage movement. . . From the interest manifested, it is believed that the membership may be increased to a hundred within a short time after the organization is formed.
  • Led many meetings of Morristown Equal Suffrage League in her family home.
  • Wrote and published a novel, The Closed Door, at her own expense and proceeds went to the cause of advocating for women’s right to vote.

Quotes:

“Many who were against this great cause fifteen years ago are for it now. Those against it now will be for it eventually. And so, we work on cheerfully, knowing that the cause of woman will triumph in Tennessee some day soon.”

 

Her book ends with “…I can truly say, I thank God I am a woman.”
