Josephine R. Nichols (née, Davis; 1838–1897) was a popular American lecturer of the 19th-century, and a temperance reformer affiliated with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). She was also a strong advocate of woman suffrage.[1] Her most notable accomplishments were as superintendent of the exposition department of the National WCTU, where she worked for years, beginning in 1883. In 1885, the Indiana State WCTU made her its president, but she continued her practical work for the national society, extending and illustrating information about the aims of the cause.[2]
