She returned to Europe soon after the end of the war, first to cover the Paris Peace Conference and then to cover and participate in the conference of the International Conference of Women and International Woman Suffrage Alliance (which succeeded in obtaining a woman’s equality clause in the Covenant of the League of Nations).
Returning to the United States, she covered the suffrage campaign, and when women won the right to vote, she became one of Capitol Hill’s few women political correspondents.

—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
