A figure long known in the fight for women's rights, Mrs Stephen H P Pell, died last week at the family home in New York. Since the women's sufferage campaign, Mrs Pell took interest in the rights of women and devoted much of her time to the passage of another amendment other than the 19th, to give "men and women equal rights throughout the United States and places subject to its jurisdiction."
Early in life, Mrs Pell, who was 61 years old at the time of her death, showed independence, finding her way into the headlines in 1906 when she leaped from a moving carriage on Fifth Avenue to stop a plunging horse, then held its driver until the police arrived to arrest him for rowdyism. She later sucessfully prosecuted the case herself.
In 1912, she defended her chauffeur in court for driving a smoking automobile, proving that the arresting officer knew nothing about automobiles.
As a national leader of the women's party, Mrs Pell spent much time in Washington, DC. She was elected Chairman of the party in 1936 and again in 1938. She was a member of the Republican Committee of New York State.
