WILLARD, FRANCES ELIZABETH (18391898) , American reformer, was born at Churchville, Monroe county, New

 , on the 28th of September 1839. She attended the Milwaukee Female College in 18J7 and in 1859 graduated at the North-western Female College at Evanston, Illinois. She then became a teacher, and in 18711874 she was president and professor of aesthetics of the Woman's College at Evanston, which became part of the North-Western University in 1873. In 1874 she became corresponding secretary and from 1879 until her death was president of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and from 1887 until her death was president of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She first spoke in favour of woman's suffrage in 1877; and in 1884 she was a member of the Executive Committee of the Prohibition party. In 1890 she was elected president of the Woman's National Council, which represented nearly all of the women's societies in America. She was one of the founders of Our Union, a New

With Mary A. Livermore she edited A Woman of the Century (
