The awarding of Inez Milholland with a presidential citizens’ award is an important step in greeting the New Year. Such an award would be a special gift for the holiday season.
The petition in support of the nomination to award the Presidential Citizens Medal to Inez Milholland Boissevain, attorney and American suffrage martyr (1886-1916), on the centennial observance of her death is gathering momentum. Nominated by California U.S. Representative Jackie Speier, the award is supported by the Inez Milholland Centennial, the National Women’s History Project, The National Woman’s Party at the Belmont-Paul Equal Rights National Monument, Turning Point Suffragist Memorial, and many others.

If you haven’t signed the petition, please do so NOW.
And order your free copy of the 15-minute film about Inez, “Forward into Light” from Martha Wheelock. The DVD is a treasure and perfect for school groups, personal and organizational use.
