She was elected its president in 1879, holding that office until her death in 1898. Throughout her presidency, the WCTU ran shelters, medical dispensaries and free kindergartens that reached out to destitute families. Subsequently, contracts for carrying mail began to be awarded to new large-scale shipping lines: the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company ran ships out of Southampton to the West Indies and South America, the British and North American Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company (aka the Cunard Line) covered the North Atlantic route, while the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company provided services on eastward routes to the Mediterranean, India and Australia. Always at the center of her message was the belief that overhauling the American political system required women’s voices. She was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, New York, in 2000. Through her slogan, “Do Everything,” she challenged women to become politically active, encouraging them to embrace any issues they saw as important.

Sacagawea appeared on the golden dollar in 2000. I had never seen a non-Native audience listen so intently to a woman who looked like my father’s ancestors and grew up in rural Oklahoma, as he did. Images showed a double-lobed object that looked like a partially flattened snowman. Sounds like the stuff of comic books? Mankiller’s family history, like that of so many Native Americans in this country, cannot be told or understood without understanding changes in federal Indian policy, which often dictated where Native people lived and the economic opportunities available to them. It reflects the historical failure of many white Americans to prioritize issues of racial justice. Motivated by Jesus’ commitment to serve the poor, she pushed WCTU women to work for economic justice and social equality. When she returned to Oklahoma from California in the late 1970s to work for the Cherokee Nation, she prioritized and supported a community-driven project that brought running water to the Bell community. Her contributions are a reminder to celebrate the work of many visionary women, like Willard, who did not live to see their dreams become reality.

Like many young Cherokee people, I was raised outside the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation. In some Russian space suits, strips of cloth were wrapped tightly around the cosmonaut’s arms and legs outside the space suit to stop the space suit from ballooning when in space. The outermost layer of a space suit, the Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment, provides thermal insulation, protection from micrometeoroids, and shielding from harmful solar radiation. The NSSC provides a variety of Procurement services across NASA to satisfy the evolving acquisition needs of the Agency. NASA destroyed the first jet in 2001 when it malfunctioned during a test.

Emphasizing what the WCTU called “organized mother love” – the belief that women could apply the ideals of motherhood to the social issues of the time – Willard built the WCTU into one of the largest women’s organizations in the world. Under her leadership, the WCTU advocated for women’s suffrage, lobbied for prison reform and campaigned for age-of-consent laws that were designed to raise the legal marriage age for women from 10 to 18. These reformers included Anna Howard Shaw and Carrie Chapman Catt, who helped lead the campaign to ratify the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote. She helped shape 21st-century feminism and progressive-based movements associated with today’s religious left. Willard supported third-party political movements that endorsed prohibition, universal suffrage and economic reforms. At a time when women had few legal safeguards compared with men, Willard highlighted how what today is known as alcohol use disorder drained economic resources, while liquor manufacturers made huge profits at the expense of the poor. She argued that money spent on alcohol not only took away resources from families, it led to inebriated men committing domestic violence against women and children.
