She studied at Cornell University in New York, where she became the first woman in the United States to earn a degree in civil engineering. She was active in the suffrage movement and became the president of the Women's Political Union in 1915. After women won the right to vote in 1920, she worked toward the Equal Rights Amendment.</text>
