Pinkham, Wenona Osborne, 1882-1930.

Pinkham taught in the public schools in Denver, Col., while earning a B.A. from the University of Denver. She married Henry W. Pinkham, a Unitarian minister and pacifist, and moved to Boston. As state chairman for the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association, 1913-1915, Pinkham was presented to audiences as an example of a woman voter, since Colorado had granted women suffrage years before. In 1917, she became executive secretary of the Boston Equal Suffrage Association for Good Government (BESAGG) and remained in this position when the organization became the Boston League of Women Voters. In late 1922 she left the league and became associate executive secretary of the Massachusetts Civic League (MCL), which promoted social welfare legislation and such issues as paying prisoners for their work. From 1924 until her death in 1930, Pinkham served as MCL's executive secretary.
