You can read about notable Foggy Bottom women in some of our prior Funkstown posts – Foggy Bottom Notable Women - Architect Rodeck and Interior Designer McCandless, Foggy Bottom’s Outstanding Women Leaders (Ellie Becker, Mary Healy, and Maria Tyler), freedom seeker Emily Edmondson and the F Street House, Martha B. Briggs and her Lost Schools, The House of Mercy – Foggy Bottom’s Home for Fallen Women and Columbia Hospital for Women. Suffragist, civil rights activist, and leader Mary Church Terrell had a minimal connection with Foggy Bottom – she worked at the Francis Junior High School Community Center for a few days in 1934 – but I’d recommend her biography – Allison Parker, Mary Church Terrell: Unceasing Militant, (2020) for Women’s History Month.
