INTRODUCTION The year 1995 was celebrated nationwide as the 75 th anniversary of Women's Suffrage. With this prestigious occasion in mind, it seemed appropriate that the Hunterdon County Cultural & Heritage Commission should recognize the talents and contributions of the women of our county. In the past century they have fought for social and moral justice by establishing schools and libraries, demanding civil service reform, a clean environment, abatement of child labor, welfare for the indigent, and, in general, pressing their male counterparts to more civilized behavior toward society. Because of their dedication to the cause of women's rights and their fight for the right to vote, to own property, to obtain equal pay for equal work, today's young woman is virtually assured of a more accepted place in the scholastic, business, and social world. Nominations for this written work were solicited throughout the county. Organizations and individuals involved with every facet of life in Hunterdon were contacted to nominate outstanding women. It soon became clear that the involvement of women in all aspects of Hunterdon life was a moving and paramount factor to the success of every social cause. We believe this is a beginning of a long overdue tribute. Stephanie B. Stevens, Chairman Hunterdon County Cultural & Heritage Commission 2
