This 1910 Federal census page lists suffragist Harriot Stanton Blatch and her household, starting on the top line (line 51). Blatch was an activist and the daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The census lists her occupation as a woman suffrage lecturer.
In 1906, Blatch created the Equality League for Self-Supporting Women for professional and industrial working women, later called the Women’s Political Union. Taking the lead from labor unions, Blatch organized the first large-scale suffrage parade in New York City in 1913.
She married a man from the United Kingdom, moved to England, and lost her American citizenship — according to the 1907 Expatriation Act, "any American woman who marries a foreigner shall take the nationality of her husband." After her husband's death, she moved back to America and petitioned to become a U.S. citizen again in 1911. (The Cable Act of 1922, known as the "Married Women’s Independent Nationality Act" or "Married Women’s Act," repealed the 1907 Expatriation Act.)
