H. Anna Quinby (1921)

H. Anna Quinby (July 8, 1871 – October 28, 1931) was an American lawyer, magazine editor, and business manager. As a social reformer, she advocated for women's suffrage and was active in the temperance movement. She was the first woman from Ohio admitted to practice law before the Supreme Court of the United States.[1][2] She was also the first woman to apply for the position of notary public, from which women were always excluded before the enactment of the amendment to the Ohio constitution providing for female suffrage.[3] Lastly, she was the first woman in Ohio to raise a litter of pigs to a ton of pork in 180 days and so qualified for membership in the Ohio Ton-Litter Club.
