Our #KeystoneSuffragist was one of many Pennsylvania farm women who found creative (and delicious) ways to support the suffrage movement.
Alice Paisley Flack Kiernan 1870-1935

Alice was the leading recruiter of suffrage supporters in Somerset County. #19thAmendment #DARvote100
She spoke locally and throughout the state about women’s right to vote. On July 7, 1916, 800 women from 20 counties gathered at her home to finish sewing and to dedicate the new PA state suffrage flag. At the event, they enjoyed her famous “cottage cheese” with berries. #pssdar
Alice donated the entire output of her farm cheese to the suffrage cause that year. Other farm women followed suit, pledging their butter and egg proceeds and selling special “suffrage cookbooks.” 🥚🧀🧈
