Cora Scott Pope (née Pond; March 2, 1856 – unknown) was an American professor, a scenario writer,[1] and a real estate developer. She was also a women’s rights activist,[2] suffragist, and militant prohibitionist.[3][4]
Trained in oratory, she taught in the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, before taking on suffrage work. In Massachusetts, she organized 87 woman's suffrage leagues, speaking in public and raising money to carry on the work in that state. As a fundraiser, she originated a dramatic entertainment called "The National Pageant", which she gave with great success for the benefit of the various societies of women.[5][6] With Charlotte Harris Allen and Aimee Stanwood Bigelow, Pond was also editor and publisher of the children's monthly magazine, The Young Idea.[7]
