About
Angelia Thurston Newman (December 4, 1837 – April 15, 1910) was an American poet, author, editor, and lecturer. She served as superintendent of jail and prisons, and flower mission work in the State of Nebraska for 25 years, for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU); was an acting member of the National Council of Women and the Woman's Relief Corps; and was for several years, vice-president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Newman was the first woman delegate ever elected to the Quadrennial Genera; Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the session at New York City, after debating the question for six days, decided against the admission of women by a majority of one. This led to the submission of the question to the church, which was settled by the admission of women delegates to the Conferences of 1904 and 1908.
