Jessie Lee Maddin Eggers

Jessie Lee Maddin Eggers was born in Dodgeville in 1867 to Henry Dodge Maddin and Sallie Hopkins Connell. Jessie was on the first ballot (1922) in Wisconsin in which women could run for a seat in the previously all male state legislature. She lost in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin but helped set a bold pattern for female participation in open elections. (Photo courtesy of the Maddin-Eggers Family)
