[2] The following year, Dietrick, KERA founder Laura Clay, and three other women established the Kentucky Lecture Bureau to provide free speakers on suffrage-related topics to clubs and civic organizations around the state.
While it covered a broad ground, it included arguments aimed specifically at New York Bishop William Croswell Doane, who had spoken out strongly against universal suffrage.
[6] Dietrick was a member of the Revising Committee for The Woman's Bible, a version with extended commentary challenging the orthodox Christian view of women's subservience to men.
Part II, published in 1898, included five commentaries signed by Dietrick and was dedicated to her memory as "the ablest member of our revising committee".
[8] Dietrick died in Boston on November 25, 1895, at the age of 48 and was remembered at the following year's NAWSA convention as an exceptional advocate and writer for the suffragist cause.
