The Nineteenth Amendment to the US Constitution is 101 years old this August. It says, "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." Nineteenth-century Universalist minister Olympia Brown is famous in UU circles for being the first woman ordained by a religious denomination in the United States. But she was also at the forefront of the women's suffrage movement. Long before our Fifth UU Principle was adopted, Brown was inspired by her faith to "affirm and promote the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large." Universalism inspired her not only to ministry, but also to social action. Using Brown's own words, Vanessa Cowie tells her story.
