"Winema Riddle was a Modoc woman whose life story illuminates Native American women's roles in history through her interactions with outsiders. She married outside her Nation, she became a mediator for her people, and she earned a military pension from Congress for her actions in time of war by saving a federal official's life."
"Matilda became one of the founders of the Women's Anthropological Society of Washington and a permanent member there, as well as a founding member of the Washington Academy of Sciences. She was also elected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the National Society of the Fine Arts. "
"A great supporter of her husband, who was one of the first two Senators of the new U.S. state of California and a Governor of the Territory of Arizona, she was outspoken on political issues and a determined opponent of slavery, which was excluded from the formation of California. By maintaining a high level of political involvement during a period that was extremely unfavorable for women, Jessie Benton Frémont proved herself to be years ahead of her time."
"Alice Fletcher was one of the first women to be professionally recognized for her work in anthropology. In 1883, Miss Fletcher became a Fellow Member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and was a Founding Member of the American Anthropological Association. She was also the first woman President of the American Folklore Society."
