Title A name given to the resource Blanche Castleman '19 Description An account of the resource Born in 1897 in Rochester, New York, Blanche Castleman ‘19 studied Library Science at Simmons, where she was a member of the Bulletin Board Committee, the Dormitory Council, and the Dramatics Society. She later became a librarian at Jefferson Junior High School in Rochester, and married teacher Clarence James Link in 1922; the couple had one daughter, Barbara, born in 1925. Blanche Castleman died in 1980 and is buried in Rochester. While at Simmons, Castleman attended the Boston Suffrage March in 1915 and kept a fragment of a red anti-suffrage streamer in her scrapbook as a memento. Though no evidence remains to confirm either her support of or opposition to the women’s suffrage cause, her attendance at the march nevertheless suggests that Castleman was one of many politically engaged Simmons students during the 1910s.

Title A name given to the resource Gertrude Barish '19 Description An account of the resource Gertrude Barish, a Russian immigrant who allegedly came to the United States to escape political persecution, studied Social Service at Simmons, graduating in 1919. Barish was a vocal proponent of women’s suffrage, speaking at a meeting of the Suffrage Committee of the Constitutional Convention in Boston in 1917. At Simmons, she served as Chairman of the Consumers’ League and of the Civic League in her senior year. Her classmates recognized her activist spirit in her yearbook entry, noting that, “when we see Gertrude coming down the corridor, we feel instinctively that she is going to ask us to join something.” In 1919, several newspapers reported that an American soldier named Leonard Swarthe was suing Barish for ten thousand dollars for “alleged breach of promise” after she refused to marry him. Swarthe, who had been stationed in Russia during World War I, claimed to have rescued Barish from death by a Russian firing squad after she “got into trouble with the authorities because of her political views.” He allegedly loaned her $1,700 to pay for her passage to the United States and for her Simmons tuition. Apparently, Swarthe assumed that Barish would repay the loan in more than money, and was outraged when she informed him that she loved another man. The outcome of the court case remains unknown, and little information survives about Barish’s later life, though a lecture she gave at a Washington, D.C. march for world peace led by Jane Addams in 1921 suggests that she continued to advocate for political causes even after the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment.

Title A name given to the resource Helena Veronica O'Brien '15 Subject The topic of the resource Secretarial student Helena Veronica O’Brien came to Simmons from Framingham, Massachusetts, where she had played on her high school’s championship basketball team.

She practiced law in Boston until the 1960s, and often returned to Simmons to teach classes in commercial and business law.

Title A name given to the resource Mary Morton (Kimball) Kehew Trustee Description An account of the resource Mary Morton Kimball, pictured here in the Notable Women of Boston mural, was born in Boston in 1859 to wealthy parents Susan Tillinghurst Morton, daughter of Massachusetts governor Marcus Morton, and Moses Day Kimball, a merchant and banker. She received her education at private schools and displayed an interest in social science early in her life. In 1880, Kimball married Boston manufacturer William B. Kehew, who was supportive of his wife’s reform work. In 1886, Kehew joined the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union (WEIU) of Boston, an organization composed of mostly wealthy women who sought to improve working conditions for the women of Boston. Kehew became director of the WEIU in 1890 and was elected president two years later. During her tenure, she reorganized the Union to focus heavily on legislative labor reform, forming a research department designed to gather information about working conditions for use in future legal actions. Kehew also established a women’s vocational training program at the Union, offering courses in dressmaking, millinery, housekeeping, and salesmanship. The program was later absorbed by Simmons when the College opened its doors to students in 1902, and Kehew maintained a position on the school’s Board of Trustees. Among the other Boston women involved with the WEIU were Kehew’s fellow Simmons suffragists Mabel Wheeler Daniels, Susan Myra Kingsbury, and Dean Sarah Louise Arnold. Following her term as president of the WEIU, Kehew sought to expand her labor activism further, hoping to reach a broader demographic of women workers. In 1892, she recruited Mary Kenney O’Sullivan, a former Hull House worker, to help found the Union for Industrial Progress, a group that organized labor unions for women in different trades, including bookbinding, laundry, tobacco work, and needlework. During this time, she also opened her Beacon Street home as a boarding house for working women in an effort to bring attention to class inequalities in the city. In 1903, Kehew became a founding member of the National Women’s Trade Union League (WTUL), serving until 1913 as its first president, and remaining on the board for the rest of her life. During her career as a social reformer, philanthropist, and labor activist, Kehew was also involved in a number of other organizations, either as a member or as a financial supporter. She worked with the Denison Settlement House in Boston, the Massachusetts Minimum Wage and Child Labor Commissions, the Boston Tuberculosis Association, and the American Park and Outdoor Association, among many other organizations. She was an active suffragist, working on suffrage campaigns for the WTUL, the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, and the School Voters’ League, and hosting at least one meeting of Boston’s Ward 8 Suffrage Association at her home. Kehew also maintained an interest in providing services for blind women, supporting the Massachusetts Association for Promoting the Interests of the Blind, the Loan and Aid Society for the Blind, and the Woolson Settlement House for blind women. Kehew died of kidney disease in Boston in 1918. She is buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery.

She was also secretary of the short-lived Suffrage Club on campus during the 1914-1915 school year, and, like fellow club members Margaret Riegel and Helena O’Brien, Reilly later joined the Social and Civics Club, perhaps to pursue her interest in socialism. Reilly went on to study at the Boston University Medical School, earning her medical degree in 1925. She moved to Quincy, Massachusetts, and married Charles Martin of Milton, Massachusetts in 1929.
