- Harriet_Hemenway abstract "Harriet Lawrence Hemenway (1858–1960) was a Boston socialite who founded the Massachusetts Audubon Society. She was the wife of Augustus Hemenway.During the Gilded Age, it became fashionable for women to wear plumes in their hats. These plumes came from woodpeckers, bluebirds, owls, herons and warblers, thousands of which were killed each year. In 1896, Hemenway and her cousin Minna B. Hall held tea parties for the wealthy women of Boston where they urged them not to wear feathered hats and invited them to join a society for the protection of birds. Hemenway and Hall organized the Massachusetts Audubon Society which over 900 women joined.Hemenway and Hall recruited William Brewster, a leading ornithologist to be the Massachusetts Audubon Society's first president. The group used its political power to have a Massachusetts law passed in 1897 outlawing trade in wild bird feathers and the 1900 Lacey Act, which prohibits interstate shipment of animals killed in violation of local laws. The Massachusetts Audubon Society remains independent, but it helped to organize the National Association of Audubon Societies (incorporated in 1905), which later became the National Audubon Society.Hemenway was not a stranger to controversy and came from a family of abolitionists. She once invited Booker T. Washington to stay in her home when Boston hotels refused to give him a room.".
