A young Suffragist who fervently believes it’s her destiny to “finish the fight” of Women’s Suffrage, and will do whatever it takes to bring that about.

Possesses strong musicianship and confidence navigating complicated harmonies. A glamorous socialite and lawyer, with an equally dazzling intelligence and intellect.
