Abstract
In this Oregon Voices article, G. Thomas Edwards documents Abigail Scott Duniway's often overlooked Correspondence column in The New Northwest. Edwards argues that while “Duniway's historical prominence is primarily due to her political advocacy, especially for woman suffrage and temperance,” her correspondence column was written with the goal of “social reform through the immediate improvement of the lives of regional women, especially through what she saw as their need to develop a sense of self-worth.” Using digitized archives of her newspaper through University of Oregon's Historic Oregon Newspapers website, Edwards presents the column as “a window onto the complexity — and at times contradictions — in Duniway.”
