Nellie Gertrude Dunmore '17

Description

Nellie Gertrude Dunmore of Providence, Rhode Island, studied Household Economics at Simmons, graduating in 1917. A member of the Endowment Fund Committee and the Glee Club, Dunmore also gained a reputation on campus as an ardent suffragist. “Rumor has it,” the Microcosm reported, “that she wore out five pairs of shoes last year in the suffrage campaign.”

Dunmore later became a teacher of Domestic Science and Household Management, holding positions in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C. before becoming an instructor at Pennsylvania State College.
