Photograph of Abigail Scott Duniway, editor of the New Northwest, at the time she began publication in 1871.

Photograph of Abigail Scott Duniway c. 1890, in the middle years of her career as an equal rights activist. The portrait is signed with a phrase she used often, "Yours for Liberty, Abigail Scott Duniway."

Duniway's mother, Anne Roelofson Scott (1811-1852), who died from cholera while en route to Oregon in 1852. Anne's life of drudgery inspired her daughter, Abigail, to seek something better for the women of the future.

Photograph of Clara Belle Duniway Stearns (1854-1886). Clara, married to Don Stearns in 1876, left behind one son, Earl, when she died at the age of thirty-one from consumption (tuberculosis). Her mother was greatly bereaved. Clara had assisted Abigail with her millinery business, and later worked with her on the New Northwest and in suffrage campaigns.

Frontispiece of David and Anna Matson (1876), an epic poem by Abigail Scott Duniway, published in New York when she went east to protest the celebration of the United States Centennial. On this occasion, suffragists rallied to decry the fact that America pretended to be a land of liberty when only "one-half the people" were free.

Photograph of Duniway's father, John Tucker Scott (1809-1880), who directed her to keep the family diary of their journey. Although he ordered her to write a history free of personal details, the narrative is very uniquely her own.
