Abstract The Elizabeth Preston Anderson Papers document the life and activities of a woman who influenced North Dakota politics by resisting efforts to reintroduce liquor to a dry state, by battling along with the suffragists to obtain the vote for North Dakota women, and by espousing a rigid moral program.‟ Her papers have been organized into four series: Correspondence, Autobiography, Histories, Pamphlets and Brochures, Speeches, Western Womanhood, and White Ribbon Bulletin.
