- Title
- Oral history interview with Abby Crawford Milton [audio recording and transcript]
- Description
- Abby Crawford Milton (6 Feb 1881-02 May 1991), women's suffrage movement leader, recalls her efforts to get women on Tennessee's democratic executive committee and state primary board, her fight to stop the abolishment of the primary in state elections, her 1933 state senatorial race, and how the Smoky Mountain National Park bill was passed (1923). NOTE: Due to some technical fault, a second interview with Milton conducted July 15, 1983 by Ruzha Cleaveland becomes inaudible about one third of the way through the first side. However, an unedited transcript of this portion has been included following the transcript of the original July 15, 1982 interview. It contains brief, additional information on Milton's activities in the early women's movement in local and state politics.
