• Minnie_Fisher_Cunningham abstract "Minnie Fisher Cunningham (March 19, 1882 – December 9, 1964) was the first executive secretary of the League of Women Voters, and a suffrage politician who worked for the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution giving women the vote. As a member of the National American Women's Suffrage Association, Cunningham helped persuade Senator Andrieus Aristieus Jones of New Mexico, chair of the Senate Woman Suffrage Committee, to introduce the amendment for a vote. Cunningham was part of a team who met with President Woodrow Wilson in the Oval Office, successfully coaxing the President into releasing a statement expressing a leaning towards suffrage. In 1928, Cunningham became the first woman from Texas to run for the United States Senate. She was the first female student of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston to earn a Graduate of Pharmacy degree. Cunningham was descended from wealthy plantation slaveholders who had moved to Texas from Alabama. By the time she was born in 1882, the family fortunes had been dissipated by the Civil War and Reconstruction, forcing her mother to sell vegetables to make ends meet. Her campaign to get rid of corrupt Texas Governor James E. Ferguson was a key factor that led to his impeachment in 1917. Cunningham was a liberal political worker who supported the New Deal policies and programs of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and sought to uplift the status of the disenfranchised in the country. Cunningham saw the connection between poverty and nutrition, and worked for government legislation to require nutrient enrichment of flour and bread. She was active for decades in both national and Texas state politics. She ran for Governor of Texas against incumbent Coke Stevenson in 1944, coming in second in a field of nine candidates. To meet the expenses of running a county campaign office for John F. Kennedy's presidential race, she sold used clothing. Cunningham was one of the founding members of the Woman's National Democratic Club and was instrumental in the organization's purchase of its Washington, D.C. headquarters, still in use.".
