Mary Virginia Cook Parrish (August 8, 1862 – October 11, 1945) was an early proponent of Black Baptist feminism, working to gain equality and social justice for all. After being given the opportunity to further her education, Cook-Parrish taught, wrote and spoke on many issues such as women's suffrage, equal rights in the areas of employment and education, social and political reform, and the importance of religion and a Christian education. She was at the founding session of the National Association of Colored Women in 1896 at the 19th Street Baptist Church in Washington D.C. and was a founder of the National Baptist Women's Convention in 1900.
