Abstract:

Papers of Lurana Whitaker, a one-time Maine mill worker and a speaker and writer on behalf of women's rights. A teacher in Prescott, Wisconsin, in 1861, Mrs. Whitaker then farmed with her husband in Point Douglas, Minnesota until 1904. Documenting her personal life and her opinions on women's rights, the collection consists largely of letters from family and friends in Maine, Prescott (Wis.), and St. Anthony (Minn.). Also present is one 1865 letter from William Lloyd Garrison, family memorabilia, and a notebook from her lectures on women's rights.
