Women in the News 1890s

Miss Eva COBB, Miss Louise KING, Mrs. Kate Cabell CURIE, Miss Louisa SALMON, Miss Le VINSEN, Miss Clara SHIELDS.

Why are they in the news: One is to be married to an Oklahoma Mayor, one disappeared while bathing at Coney Island, one is the President of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, one is a sponsor of the Missouri Division of the United Confederate Veterans, one is the 2nd cousin of Theodore Roosevelt and engaged to become a Baroness, one announced her engagement at a dinner-dance given by President McKinley

All engravings are from the Kansas City Journal, 1897 - 1899.
