Rosalie Gardiner Jones

[1] She took the "Pankhursts" as role models and after hearing of the "Brown Women" she organised marches to draw attention to the suffrage cause.

[2] She completed two different theses, "The Labor Party in England" and The American Standard of Living and World Cooperation.

[1][4] In early 1913, General Rosalie Jones and her "pilgrims", as they were called, planned to reach the Capitol of the United States.

One pilgrim, Miss Constance Leupp, arrived days earlier and denied the stories about the hardships the marchers suffered through.

In 1925, she protested Governor Alfred E. Smith and demanded he remove Robert Moses as President of the Long Island Park Commission for appropriation of people's property without fair warning.

For the next years, Jones was busy breaking traditions, raising goats on her property, and fighting with her neighbors and relatives.

[1] On March 15, 1927, Jones married Clarence Dill, a Washington United States Senator.

[1] Jones died on January 12, 1978, and her ashes were scattered outside her mother's tomb at St. John Episcopal Church in Cold Spring Harbor, New York.
