Maud Nathan (October 20, 1862 – December 15, 1946) was an American social worker, labor activist and suffragist for women's right to vote.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Maud Nathan )〕 == Early life== She was born on October 20, 1862 to a New York Sephardic Jewish family. Her mother was Annie Augusta and her father was Robert Weeks Nathan.〔http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/nathan-maud Jewish Women's Archive〕 She came from a prominent New York family, descended from Gershom Mendes Seixas, minister of New York's Congregation Sherith Israel during the American Revolutionary War.〔(Annie Nathan Meyer Papers ), American Jewish Archives〕 Her sister was the author and education activist Annie Nathan Meyer, the founder of Barnard College. Her cousins are the poet Emma Lazarus and Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo. Her nephew was the author and poet Robert Nathan. Her and her family moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin for four years. Maud finished her high school education there. The family moved back to New York after the death of Maud's mother in 1878. At the age of 17 Maud Nathan married Frederick Nathan, her first cousin. The death of her daughter, Annette Florance Nathan, at the age of 8 brought out a change in Nathan. Josephine Shaw Lowell, founder of the New York Consumers League suggested that Nathan work up an interest in the issues of working women in New York City, as a way to get over the loss of her child. This was the initial start of Nathan's career in helping women.〔http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/nathan-maud Jewish Women's Archive〕
