A passionate advocate for women’s rights, she brought the history of the suffrage movement to life through vivid biographies of its leading figures. Her work helped preserve the stories of activists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony for new generations of readers.

by Alma Lutz
Born in Jamestown, North Dakota, in 1890, Alma Lutz studied at the Emma Willard School and Vassar College. After graduating in 1912, she became active in the campaign for women’s suffrage and went on to spend much of her life working for equal rights for women.
Lutz was not only an activist but also a dedicated historian and biographer. She wrote about major leaders of the women’s rights movement, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and other pioneering reformers, helping to document a movement that might otherwise have been partly forgotten.
Her writing reflects both scholarship and commitment: she was deeply involved in the cause she chronicled. That combination makes her books especially valuable for readers interested in American history, feminism, and the people who fought to expand democratic rights.
