This article lauds Hebard as: "distinguished social scientist," "highly respected editor," and "leading suffragist." These claims appear to me as a stretch. On the first two accounts, social science and editing, Hebard had no shortage of critics, primarily because of her tendency to romanticize history and her lack of academic discipline, and for that matter, training. Leading suffragist? My readings show that national suffragists trotted out Hebard as as an example of a citizen from a "progressive" state that saw fit to grant women the vote. Subsequently, Hebard was at times very visible doing the bidding of national suffragists and, as such, was a follower not a leader. Fishdecoy (talk)
