Clara Ueland
Clara Hampson Ueland (October 10, 1860 - March 1, 1927) was an American community activist and suffragist. She was the first president of the Minnesota League of Women Voters〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lwvmn.org/page.aspx?pid=422 )〕 and worked to advance public welfare legislation. She was the mother of writer Brenda Ueland, who wrote a biography of her later published as ''O Clouds, Unfold!''.
Clara Hampson was born on October 10, 1860 in Akron, Ohio. She married lawyer Andreas Ueland in 1885. The couple and their three eldest daughters moved into a sixteen-room house on the south shore of Lake Calhoun in 1891. Clara taught kindergarten in her home and worked to establish kindergartens in the schools of Minneapolis. Ueland travelled to Connecticut in 1920 as part of the "Emergency Suffrage Corps'" to protest Governor Marcus H. Holcomb's refusal to call a special session to ratify the suffrage amendment. In 1921, she was appointed chair of the Minneapolis fundraising committee for the Woodrow Wilson Foundation. She was presented the pen that Minnesota Governor Joseph A. A. Burnquist used when signing the presidential suffrage bill. In 1925, Ueland criticized Republican foreign policy and "back-door" cooperation with the League of Nations, saying "We have got to spread the gospel among the women, telling them that they are paying too much for cotton and woolen goods, for aluminumware and that the country cannot recover from hard times unless we reduce the tariff."
She died after being struck by a truck as she was crossing the street near her home on March 1, 1927.
