The FIRST SUFFRAGIST
Margaret Brent Took stand for Ballot
500 Years Ago.

Although Mrs. Abigail Smith Adams,
wife of the famous John, is supposed to
be the first American suffragist, this
honor really belongs to Margaret Brent,
who lived 300 years ago and Is on record
as the first woman in the colonies to
make stand for the rights of ner sex.

Harper's Magazine tells the story:
when on the Ath of June, the assem-
bly, of 1647-4S was in session, doubtless &C
cupied with discussing the affairs of the
province, their rights as freemen, etc,
they were startled by the appearance OF
Mistress Margaret Brent who demanded
both voice and vote in the assembly. Alas
for Mistress Brent and her appreciation
of the rights of her sex! The governor
promptly and ungallantly refused her. The

ton, protested against all the acts OF the
