Sonoma County Suffragist Stories: Anna Morrison Reed
Anna Morrison Reed was a poet, lecturer, journalist, and publisher from Ukiah -- and she became a leading advocate for women's suffrage in Sonoma County and statewide. Anna's story is a fascinating one, because in her early years as a lecturer, she held anti-suffrage views, but as she got older, her position shifted to pro-suffrage.
