About This Item
Inscribed by the author "To --- Day (Breeden) from her old friend Kate Trimble (Woolsey), New York, Apr 5 1904."
Born in Kentucky, Woolsey (1858-1936) was an early women's rights leaders and writer. Her mother, Mary Barlow Trimble, was also a well-known suffagist.
Following the death of her first husband in 1887, she married Edward Woolsey of New York City, and the couple had homes on Lexington Avenue and at Washington Square.
According to a biographical sketch by Paul Tenkotte, "Woolsey's views were also unconventional for her era. She was a eugenicist, believing that science could be used to engineer better babies. Men, she felt, had reshaped the world of matriarchal societies into male-dominated patriarchies.... In a book regarded as controversial for its day, Republics versus Women (1903), she asserted that the aristocracies of Europe were actually more progressive in terms of women's rights than the world's republics, including the United States."
She attended many women's conventions in Europe and the U.S. and delivered a keynote, "Has Democracy Benefited Womankind?" at the 40th annual NAWSA convention in Buffalo in 1908.
