Mary A. Livermore (1820-1905) was a prominent suffrage leader whose support of women's rights was based on her belief that men and women are equal in the eyes of God. After volunteering with the U.S. Sanitary Commission, which provided Union soldiers with food, clothing, and medical care during the Civil War, Livermore made a career as a lecturer on social reform, including women's suffrage and temperance. She wrote about her experiences in her autobiography, The Story of My Life. She was married to Universalist minister Daniel P. Livermore.
