| Marion Martin of Maine: A Mother of Republican Women (866 words) |
 | Republican women's clubs had been campaigning for their party for over fifty years, but they went their own way and did not co-ordinate their work. |
| She saw the clubs as a training ground for Republican women, teaching them political skills even while it put them to work for Republican candidates. |
| Although not a feminist, she used her position to lobby for women, urging Republican governors to appoint them to state offices, pushing state parties to give them more seats to national conventions, and urging women to run for office. |
