Ecob was a well-known leader in the woman's suffrage movement, according to the
Rockland County Journal News. In
Denver, Ecob would see the effects of
women's suffrage in
Colorado. In 1893, Ecob served on Dress Committee of the
National Council of Women. Ecob was present for the final hearing on the women's suffrage amendment for the New York State Constitutional Convention in
Albany, New York, and had spoken on the topic to the committees involved. In 1910, Ecob and her daughter, Frances, spoke at the Queens County Courthouse on matters relating to women's suffrage. Ecob was currently leading the Queens Equal Suffrage Movement while her daughter was the leader of the Flushing Suffragettes. The book was also concerned with
women's health in relation to what women wear. Ecob was very firm on the idea that
corsets and tight items of underclothing were unhealthy.
The Well-Dressed Woman also included
diagrams and
illustrations of more comfortable styles of dress for women. Ecob also wrote
essays for the magazine,
The Congregationalist. == References ==
