Leonora Barry
Leonora Barry (13 August 1849 – 18 July 1923) was born in County Cork, Ireland, to John and Honor Granger Kearney. As the only woman to hold national office within the Knights of Labor, she brought attention to the conditions of working women through her involvement in the labor reform movement. She also furthered the progress of women’s rights during the period following the American Civil War and Reconstruction.
==Early life==
Leonora's father, an Irish farmer, relocated his family to the rural community of Pierrepont, New York, in 1852 to escape the Great Famine.
In 1864, Leonora's young mother died. Upon her father’s remarriage to a woman five years older than her, Leonora decided to attend teaching school. After moving out of the house to escape the tension between herself and her father's new wife, she took the initiative to contact the head of a girls' school in nearby Colton, New York, from whom she received private instruction for six weeks. At the age of sixteen, Leonora received her teacher certificate and, over the following years, taught at a local school.
