Hide Profile

Elizabeth Brownrigg (Henderson) Cotten (1875-1975) worked in the Southern Historical Collection and was secretary of the Friends of the Library of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Before her husband's death in 1926, Mrs. Cotten lived for some time in Istanbul, Turkey, and Tokyo, Japan, and was active in Women's Clubs there. She was an advocate of women's rights, and was active in the Democratic Party, the Episcopal Church, Liberty Loan Drives of World War I, Red Cross relief in the influenza epidemic of 1918, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the Colonial Dames.

A leader in the Tryon Palace Restoration, and involved in many other North Carolina preservation and restoration projects, Cotten was co-editor of Old Homes and Gardens of North Carolina (1939) and author of The John Paul Jones-Willie Jones Tradition (1966).
