The life of Clarina Nichols and her work in the early womenâs rights movement in the United States has been greatly overlooked. As one of the countryâs first female newspaper editors and stump speakers, Clarina Nichols spoke out for temperance, abolition and womenâs rights at a time when doing so could get a woman killed. Unlike other activists, she personally experienced some of the cruelest sufferings that a married woman of her day could know. In her pursuit for justice she traveled westward facing all of the challenges of being a single mother and a womenâs rights activist of her day with good humor and resourcefulness. Clarina Nichols is portrayed by Diane Eickhoff in this chautauquan style interview. We began when I asked Clarina about her childhood.
The book Clarina Nichols recommends is âThe Sexes Throughout Nature (Pioneers of the womanâs movement),â by Antoinette Louisa Brown Blackwell.
The book Diane Eickhoff recommends is âThe Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 911â by Lawrence Wright.
