About
Harriet Newell Kneeland Goff (née, Kneeland; pen name, H. N. K. Goff; October 10, 1828 - April 10, 1901) was an American temperance reformer and author. For many years, she was a contributor to the public press, and three books followed, Was it an Inheritance? (1876), Other Fools and Their Doings, Or, Life Among the Freedmen (1880), and Who Cares (1887). She was elected Right Worthy Grand Vice-Templar of the British branch in the rupture of the International Organisation of Good Templars. She was an international temperance lecturer beginning in 1870, and for six years, her especial work was for the employment of police matrons in Brooklyn, New York. Goff was the first woman ever placed upon a nominating committee to name candidates for the presidency and vice-presidency of the United States.
