From Famous Women: An Outline of Feminine Achievement Through the Ages With Life Stories of Five Hundred Noted Women. Written by Joseph Adelman, published 1926 by Ellis M Lonow Company:
American reformer, daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. She graduated from Vassar College in 1878, studied in Berlin and Paris, and in 1882 married Henry Blatch, an Englishman. She took a prominent part during her twenty years’ residence in England in the work of the Fabian Society, of the Women’s Industrial Union, and of woman’s suffrage organizations. Her studies of English village life carried on with Charles Booth were embodied in a thesis for which she received a master’s degree from Vassar in 1893. Since her return to America she has carried on her mother’s work for the improvement of the legal status of women.
