- catalog description "Civic worker, political campaigner, and advocate of civil rights, birth control, and women's rights, Martha (Ragsdale) Ragland was born in Paducah, Ky., in 1906. She graduated from Vanderbilt University (A.B. 1927, M.A. in economics, 1928). During the 1930s and early 1940s she helped organize Planned Parenthood groups at the local and state levels, and in 1938 organized a speaking tour for Margaret Sanger in Tennessee. She held offices in the League of Women Voters at the local, state, and national level, and worked for better housing and health services, tax equalization, and reform of the Tennessee constitution. In 1948 Ragland headed the women's division of the Democratic Party in the general election, and chaired the women's division in the Estes Kefauver (1948) and Albert Gore (1952) campaigns for the U.S. Senate. A delegate to the Democratic National Convention and member of the platform committee (1952), she was a member of the Democratic National Committee (1952-1956). In the 1956 presidential campaign she was vice-chair of National Volunteers for Stevenson-Kefauver. Other affiliations include the Volunteer Women's Roundtable, the Tennessee Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Tennessee Council on Human Relations, Tennessee Women's Political Caucus, and the Tennessee Commission on Children. She married businessman Tom Ragland in 1932; they had two children.".
