Mary Elizabeth Lease
Mary Elizabeth Lease (September 11, 1850 – October 29, 1933) was an American lecturer, writer, and political activist. She was an advocate of the suffrage movement as well as temperance but she was best known for her work with the Populist party. She was born to Irish immigrants Joseph P. and Mary Elizabeth (Murray) Clyens, in Ridgway, Pennsylvania. In 1895, she wrote ''The Problem of Civilization Solved'', and in 1896, she moved to New York City where she edited the democratic newspaper, ''World''. In addition, she worked as an editor for the ''National Encyclopedia of American Biography''. Mary Elizabeth Lease was also known as Mary Ellen Lease. She was called "Queen Mary" (after the British Queen consort, Mary of Teck), "Mother Lease" by her supporters and "Mary Yellin" by her enemies. Lease died in Callicoon, New York.
==Early life==
At the age of 20, she moved to Kansas to teach school in Osage Mission (St. Paul, Kansas), and three years later she married Charles L. Lease, a local pharmacist. They lost their Kingman County farm in the Panic of 1874 and moved to Denison, Texas where she studied law. The Leases and their four children later moved to Wichita, Kansas, where she took a leading role in civic and social activities.
