- catalog description "Leonard was a life-long champion of the Republican party and a great deal of her personal correspondence, especially with family, discusses politics. Despite her political and social conservatism, Leonard championed gender equity and became a tireless advocate of the Equal Right Amendment. Alice Paul, founder of the National Woman's Party, personally requested Leonard's help in collecting and writing the legal history of women's rights (and discrimination against women) at the state level. An enthusiastic admirer of Alice Paul, Leonard devoted decades to researching state laws pertaining to women, including the right to own property and the right to serve on a jury. She inundated politicians with letters demanding their support of the ERA and, as a volunteer with the National Woman's Party, she authored leaflets distributed by the group. Her major works, "Questions and Answers" and "Answers to Questions" (regarding the ERA), initially presented to the Senate, were revised and republished over the decades. Leonard served as vice-chair of the National Woman's Party before a conflict with other members and disagreement with power dynamics ended her participation in the group. Despite severing ties with the National Woman's Party, Leonard remained an ardent supporter of women's rights.".
