Beaumelle Sturtevant-Peet (née, Rockwell; after first marriage, Sturtevant; after second marriage, Sturtevant-Peet; April 27, 1840 – January 23, 1921) was an American social reformer active in the temperance and women's suffrage movements, as well as in philanthropic work.[1] She was born with a social reformer heritage; her grandfather would not eat of cane sugar or wear cotton goods, because they were made by slave labor.[2] For 17 years, she served as president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (W.C.T.U.) of California. Her fellow members spoke of Sturtevant-Peet as having one of the finest trained and legal minds in the organization.[3]
