Amelia Jenks Bloomer (1818-1894) was a major contributor to the women's rights and temperance movements in the nineteenth century. Beginning her professional career as a school teacher, and later a governess, Bloomer found her true calling when she began writing for the New York newspaper, the Seneca Falls County Courier. Believing writing to be the best way for women to advocate reform, she created her own bi-weekly newspaper for women, The Lily, which was the first of its kind, running from 1849-1853. Bloomer attended the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, introduced Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony to one another in 1851, and served as President of the Iowa Woman Suffrage Association from 1871-1873. Though she did not create the look herself, Bloomer wore and promoted the loose trousers that thus came to be known as "bloomers," presciently insisting, "The costume of women should be suited to her wants and necessities."
