The City of Cleveland's first woman housing inspector and sanitary inspector, she proposed a health museum for Cleveland in 1912, but was never able to complete and open it during Mayor Newton Baker's term in office. She proposed a a number of other progressive government actions to address the health and housing of Cleveland's poor, but all were opposed by Cleveland's all male City Council, who attempted to eliminate her salary. When Mayor Newton left office, she left too, championing a variety of proposals to better the lives of women everywhere. She taught at Western Reserve University, and died in Cleveland in 1940. | Date: 1928 | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph CollectionDownload Original File
