McFadin family women’s suffrage framed display
Description:
Framed multi-window mat display of items titled Women's Suffrage. Articles were collected by Alice McFadin, who was active in the women's suffrage movement in the early 1900s.
Description:
(Historical Note): This framed display of items illustrating the women’s suffrage movement was assembled by Veree McFadin Godfrey, youngest sister of Alice McFadin McAnulty, Ora McFadin, and Auma McFadin Foy, all of whom were active in the cause to gain women the right to vote in elections. They were raised in Williamson County by their parents, Judge John N. and Mollie Teague (Sherman) McFadin. Their grandfather, David H. McFadin, a soldier in the Texas Revolution, was a supporter of women’s suffrage and the first honorary member of the Texas Equal Rights Association. Alice and her husband, along with Ora and Veree, were TERA charter members. Photographs of Veree, Alice, and Auma are featured in the display along with images of national and Texas women’s suffrage leaders. Veree McFadin Godfrey's certificate of membership in the Daughters of the Texas Revolution is also part of the display.
