Jones, Rosalie, 1883-1978
Rosalie Gardiner Jones (February 24, 1883 – January 12, 1978) was an American suffragette. She took the "Pankhursts" as role models and after hearing of the "Brown Women" she organised marches to draw attention to the suffrage cause. She was known as "General Jones" because of her following.
Born in New York City, Jones grew up on Long Island, New York, and eventually attended Adelphi College. She subsequently received a law degree from Brooklyn Law School, would go on to study at several schools in Washington, D.C., becoming the first woman to receive a Doctorate of Civil Law from American University in 1922, and unsuccessfully running for Congress office in November 1936 as a Democrat. She was married for nine years from 1927-1936 to Clarence Dill, a Senator from Washington.
