Courting Political Ruin

Abstract

Throughout the war, suffragists in individual states closely followed the federal amendment’s progress through Congress. In the early spring of 1913, Otero-Warren travelled to the capital with friend and fellow educational leader Isabel Eckles. While in the city, the National Woman’s Party feted Otero-Warren for her suffrage work in the Southwest. When Otero-Warren returned to Santa Fe, she was recognized as an expert on the federal situation by the members of the Santa Fe Suffrage League. Otero-Warren was incredibly busy in the fall of 1918 as she balanced her leadership in suffrage activism with her educational and war work.
