Mary-Cooke Branch Munford (September 15, 1865 – July 3, 1938) was a Virginia activist for women's rights, civil rights, women's suffrage, and education. ==Life== Mary-Cooke Branch was a native of Richmond; she was the youngest daughter of James Read Branch and Martha Louise Patterson Branch.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Munford, Mary-Cooke Branch (1865–1938) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Branch, James Read (1828–1869) )〕 Her family, of English extraction, was prominent in local affairs; her grandfather, Thomas Branch, had served in the Confederate Congress, and nephews included the writer James Branch Cabell and the Episcopal preacher Walter Russell Bowie. Her father drowned accidentally three years after her birth.〔 She grew up in a rich family, but from a young age she became interested in social welfare issues, a passion which was only intensified after her marriage, on November 22, 1893, to Beverley Bland Munford, a lawyer who also was active in social issues.〔 With him she would go on to have two children, Mary Safford in 1895 and Beverley Bland in 1899.〔 In the 1890s she also founded a Saturday Afternoon Club, whose weekly meetings attracted women from the upper echelons of Richmond society. Once she saw that their interest was in discussing refined topics rather than problems of civic life she pulled back her involvement.〔
