Paul Martin: 10 American Heroes You Didn't Know About: Inez Milholland Boissevain's brief life (1886-1916) was filled with drama: A pacifist and idealist, she was a record-setting athlete and vocal student leader at Vassar College, a crusading New York attorney who investigated the disgraceful conditions at Sing Sing prison, and a martyr to suffragists for her refusal to give up her fight for women's rights despite having developed a life-threatening case of pernicious anemia. Though she didn't live to see it happen, Boissevain was instrumental in winning women the right to vote in 1920.
