In 1884, a group of women organized a new political party, "The Equal Rights Party," and organized the first convention to nominate two women for office: Belva A. Lockwood for president and Marietta L. Stow, for Vice-President.
The Harvard Lampoon publication was founded in 1876 at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The humor magazine was inspired by popular publications like Puck (1871) and Punch (1841).
