This copy belonged to attendant Jane Olcott, who signed it in ink on the cover, and inserted a slip of pencil notes regarding Committee members and alternates. Olcott graduated from Mt. Holyoke College in 1909; she was devoted to liberal causes and eventually worked for the radical labor paper, The Artisan. In the years leading up to the passing of the 19th amendment she was a suffragette who worked closely with Carrie Chapman Catt.
