This episode of Ballot and Beyond, contributed by the Maryland Women’s Heritage Center, was written and read by Judy A. Carbone, President of AAUW-Garrett County Branch and a volunteer with Maryland Women’s Heritage Center.
Edna Story Latimer was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1878. She was a staunch suffragist involved in campaigning against President Wilson and national anti-suffrage candidates, as well as one of the organizers of the Maryland Just Government League.
Latimer is best known for organizing suffragists on multi-state publicity and outreach hikes - for her leadership, she was known as General Edna Latimer within her suffrage ranks.
