Mariana Wright Chapman was born in New York City in 1843, the daughter
of Quakers Aaron and Mary Willets Wright. She attended Friends Institute, later
called Friends Seminary, until her family's move to Springboro, Ohio, in the
early 1850s. She spent two years at Antioch College. In 1864 she married Noah
H. Chapman under the care of Springboro Monthly Meeting. The young family moved
east in 1880 and purchased a home in Brooklyn, New York. Mariana Wright ChapmanAs their three sons and two daughters got older, Mariana became active
in the struggle for woman suffrage. Her interest had been aroused in the mid
1880s when she attended a women's suffrage meeting and was inspired by the
speakers. She was eventually named President of the Women's Suffrage
Association of Brooklyn and then resigned to take the office of president of
the New York State Suffrage Association. She was also a member of the Brooklyn
Women's Club from 1888 until her death, was a charter member of the New York
League for Political Education, and was instrumental in founding the Friends
Equal Rights Association. In addition to suffrage, she was also actively
involved in other social and religious concerns, particularly prison reform,
peace, and education. She died at her country home in Port Washington, New
York, in 1907, after a long illness. Noah H. Chapman was born in Ohio in 1836, the son of Joseph B. and
Charlotte Haines Chapman. He worked in the dry goods business in Cincinnati,
and, after the move to New York in 1880, was a member of the firm of what
became Field, Chapman, & Co., commission merchants. He was also an Elder of

know (I do not see how she can help it) that it is no use to importune
politicians to do this or that, unless they know that their constituents are
willing that they should." And then "three lines of work are those that are

work of the National Assn in moulding sentiment in prospective States."

|
| Letter to Dear Mrs.
Chapman
Jun 17 [1895] 1 ALsS Would be happy to meet with MWC and Mrs. Chapman Catt when
they return from Atlanta. Believes that the concept of "educated suffrage"
would be suicidal because it would exclude "an army of imtelligent, moral,
humble patriotic women." She closes by saying "We should conscientiously oppose
the admission of another man until we are enfranchized."
|
|
| Letter to Dear Mrs.
Chapman
Dec 7th 1 ALsS The Women's Journal will not publish Stanton's latter or an
article that she sent them because the Episcopal Bishops meeting in Washington
DC opposed her statements on marriage and divorce. "Ernestine Rose and Lucretia
Mott [?] much criticism as injurious to our movement the one because of her
atheism and the other as a follower of Hicks. We were advised not to invite
them to our conventions but we paid no attention to such advice."
|
|
| Letter to Dear Mrs.
Chapman
Dec 24 1 ALsS Mrs. Blatch is going away for the holidays so that MWC and
Mrs. Catt should postpone their visit for the couple of weeks. But if there is
any danger of Catt going west before that time, she suggests another date; she
wants to talk over some points of social as well as political philosophy with
them. Has cataracts in both eyes, and is advised that she will be totally blind
soon. Thinks Susan's book is "quite interesting," but needs much "pruning."
States that Susan B. Anthony often says that Catt is the only one "who can fill
her place 'in paying her own salary.'" Closes by saying "there is much hard
thankless work still ahead."
|
|
| Letter to Dear Mrs.
Chapman
Oct 8th 1 ALsS Since Miss Anthony will certainly resign in February, has
heard a number of names proposed as President of the National Association: Mrs.
Mariana Chapman, Mrs. Chapman Catt, Rev. Anna Shaw, Rev. Antoinette Blackwell,
Mrs. Alice Stone Blackwell, Lillie Devereux Blake, Mrs. Taylor Upton. She
thinks that MWC would be a good choice for a number of reasons, but does not
wish her opinion considered because she has withdrawn from active work.
|
|
| Letter to Dear Mrs.
Chapman
Dec 1st ? 1 ALsS Glad that MWC is in favor of educated suffrage, and wishes to
discuss it with her. Miss Anthony did not wish her resolutions presented to the
convention lest they "disturb the harmony" or "make our cause unpopular." And
further "Nothing could create more interest in our present ? than 'educated
suffrage.'"
