First, a brief bio of this very politically active woman. In 1889 she married J. Borden Harriman, a New York banker and the elder cousin of future New York Governor William Averell Harriman. In 1903 she co-founded the Colony Club, New York City's first club exclusively for women. In 1908 she led efforts by the NYC chapter of the National Woman's Committee to expose harsh working conditions in the city's factories. She was active in the women's suffrage movement and led a parade of suffragists down Fifth Avenue. In 1912 she supported Woodrow Wilson and was elected as the first president of Women's National Wilson and Marshall Association. During WWI she organized the American Red Cross Women's Motor Corps of the District of Columbia, including driving ambulances around D.C., and she directed the Women's Motor Corps in France. She began serving as a member of the Democratic National Committee in 1920 and held the position until the 1950s. Three of the following items relate to that position. She did not support FDR in 1932 and remarked that it caused FDR's inner circle "To Have A Little Gray Mark Against Me." She did become one of his strongest supporters at the 1936 convention and in 1937 was appointed as United State's Minister to Norway.
