Josephine Kirby Henry (née Williamson) (February 22, 1846 – 1928) was an American Progressive Era women's rights leader, suffragist, social reformer, and writer from Versailles, Kentucky in the United States. Henry was a strong advocate for women and was a leading proponent of legislation that would grant married women property rights. Henry lobbied hard for the adoption of the Kentucky 1894 Married Woman's Property Act, and is credited for being instrumental in its passage. Henry was the first woman to campaign publicly for a statewide office in Kentucky.
==Family and early life==
Josephine was born into the wealthy Williamson family in Newport in northern Kentucky.〔Sweeney, Michael R.

After their marriage they resided in Versailles and both were heavily involved in local and state community affairs. Together they had one son who died in a railroad accident near Chicago in 1891 while working as a writer for Chicago Inter Ocean.
