Women Reformers

Dr. Anya Jabour, professor of history at the University of Montana, shares stories of some of Montana’s most significant women reformers, including Hazel Hunkins, a Billings native who went to federal prison for picketing the White House on behalf of suffrage; Maggie Smith Hathaway, of Stevensville, who pioneered child welfare legislation in the state; and Helen Piotopowaka Clarke, the first Native American woman elected to public office in the Montana Territory.
