Biographical History
Helen Hamilton Gardener was born Alice Chenoweth in 1853 in Winchester, Va. She published numerous lectures, articles, and books during the period 1885-1900 under the name Helen Hamilton Gardener, a name she continued to use both professionally and privately, and later legally adopted. In 1907, HHG settled in Washington, D.C. and took up the suffrage cause. In 1913 she was appointed to the Congressional Committee of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), becoming vice-chairman six years later; she was elected a vice-president of NAWSA in 1917, and served as its chief liaison with the Woodrow Wilson administration. In 1920, Wilson appointed her to the United States Civil Service Commission, the first woman to occupy so high a federal position. HHG was married twice but had no children; she died in Washington in 1925. For additional biographical information, see Notable American Women, 1607-1950 (Cambridge, Mass., 1971), which includes a list of additional sources. See also small collection (A/G218) in the Schlesinger Library.
