MOLLY'S HOUSE: Colorado Women's Suffrage

By Joanne Brand

Molly McMurphy, a young widow, was trying to find her way without her husband and no income in the silver mining town of Caribou, Colorado. She listened to speakers at a rally in 1892 against women acquiring the right to vote. Those men scared her yet bolstered her to fight for her rights! She joined the suffrage movement and received insults and other dreadful barrages with the suffrage marches in Denver. Molly also had to deal with a banker holding the mortgage on her home. Not only did he have his eyes on her property, but more so on her. Threats against her accelerated to vandalism of her home. More threats followed. Molly's fear still could not stop her from fighting for her right to vote. She became a strong activist for the Colorado Women's Suffrage movement. The battle was won in 1893. Molly helped to make Colorado history.
