Biographical Note

Alma Lutz (1890-1973) was born in Jamestown, ND, and came to Vassar from the Emma Willard School. A leader in the fight for woman suffrage and equal rights, she was also author of several biographies of leading feminists. During her college years she was an active feminist; and after graduating from Vassar in 1912, she returned to North Dakota to work for women's suffrage. Six years later Alma Lutz moved to Boston, where she wrote for the National Woman's Party and did research on the role of women in American history. From that time her life was devoted to both activism and historical studies. In 1938 she served as editor of the official organ of the National Woman's Party, and was for many years a member of the party's national council.

Writer, as well as political activist, she wrote biographies of Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Emma Willard; and collaborated with Harriot Stanton Blatch on Mrs. Blatch's memoirs, Challenging Years. She also wrote Crusade for Freedom, a history of women in the antislavery movement. Alma Lutz served on the advisory committee of the Schlesinger Library, was a consultant to Notable American Women, and secretary of the Massachusetts Committee for the Equal Rights Amendment.
