  • Martha Hughes Cannon: an Example of a New Womanhood in Utah
    Martha Hughes Cannon: An Example of a New Womanhood in Utah Martha Hughes Cannon, a nineteenth-century intellectual and activist, was described by a Chicago newspaper as "the brightest exponent of the women's cause in the United States."1 Cannon is most well known for being the first female state senator in the US. She ran as a Democrat and was elected on November 3, 1896. Cannon's additional claim to fame is that she defeated her husband, who ran as a Republican, by nearly 3,000 votes. A local paper commented on the husband's loss by saying, ``Mrs. Mattie Hughes Cannon, his wife, is the better man of the two. Send Mrs. Cannon to the State Senate and let Mr. Cannon, as a Republican, remain at home to manage home industry.''2 Martha didn't intend for her victory to overshadow her husband--she was simply trying to gain the power to enact the health reform legislation that she saw as necessary for the health of under-represented Utahns, such as women, children and the disabled. Despite Cannon's fame as a Utah Senator, she had many achievements under her belt before she ran for public office. At age nineteen she decided she wanted to be a doctor, and soon graduated from the University of Deseret with a degree in chemistry. Within five more years she completed her medical degree at the University of Michigan, went on to earn a B.S. from the University of Pennsylvania's School of Pharmacy and a bachelors of oratory degree from the National School of Elocution and Oratory.

For a long time, only white men were allowed to vote. But after slavery was abolished in the 1860s, black men were given the right to vote in 1870 through the 15th Amendment to the Constitution. Narrator #2: Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized a women’s rights convention ​ in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. There, Stanton read their “Declaration of Sentiments” to an audience of 300, demanding all the same rights that men had, including voting rights. After hearing Stanton speak, one hundred women and men signed the Declaration of Sentiments. This small convention began the women’s suffrage movement in the United States. Elizabeth Cady Stanton: Women have been oppressed and deprived of the rights that men ​ enjoy. We insist that we immediately be given all the rights and privileges that belong to us as citizens of the United States, including the right to vote! 2 Frederick Douglass: As a free black man fighting for the end of slavery and for the rights of all ​ people, I support Mrs.

''All the best men I know are ladylike and all the best women I know are gentlemanly'' (qtd. in Black). Running on a Democratic platform, she'd just beaten her own husband, the Republican Angus Cannon. The Mormon enclave of Utah territory was one of long-avowed seclusion from the outside world, and yet it wasn't immune from transitioning dialogues regarding "the woman question." Even at a young age, Martha (Mattie) Cannon attested to that.

  • Collin, Lois M
    Collin, Lois M. “Utah considers placing female statue in nation's Capitol amid national conversation on monuments and values,” Deseret News, Salt Lake City, Utah, January 24, 2018 SALT LAKE CITY — Utah is famous for giving women the vote decades before other states, but fewer people know Utah also elected the first female to a state senate, clear back in 1896. Now there's a push on Utah's Capitol Hill to send that same woman — Dr. Martha Hughes Cannon, who was also a physician — to Washington to represent the state in The National Statuary Hall Collection in the U.S. Capitol. The campaign comes as the nation grapples with what statues and monuments mean and what story they tell about a community or country. Recent decisions to remove or relocate statues featuring prominent Confederate Civil War figures have ignited protests and counter-protests about whether statues commemorate history or speak to what is valued in the public square today. Fans of Cannon believe it's time to emphasize the valuable role that women have played throughout American history. Utah women were leaders in the women's movement, and "Mattie" Cannon was one of the state's most precocious and accomplished players. "What we see every day reflects our values as a culture," adds Neylan McBaine, CEO of Better Days 2020, which is coordinating Utah celebrations of suffrage's 100th anniversary. "We're part of a valuable movement that is identifying gaps between what we see in our public iconography and what we value and hold dear." The Utah Legislature this session is considering SCR1, a resolution to enshrine Cannon — wife, mother, physician, politician and activist — who helped establish Utah's public health system.

Cox GOVERNOR SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR 84114-2220 August 21, 2020 Secretary David Bernhardt U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street N.W. Washington, D.C. 20240 Secretary Bernhardt, Thank you, as always, for your leadership and genuine spirit of pmtnership with the state of Utah. I was grateful several weeks ago to hear that Greg Sheehan had been appointed to lead the Bureau of Land Management's Utah office. You and I spoke about Greg earlier this year, and we're thrilled to have him leading the agency's work in Utah. Our joint effmts to improve policies and effectively manage public lands is improved immeasurably when we have local leadership of federal agencies who understand local challenges and have a good relationship with local leaders. Greg fits that description perfectly. You recently requested my input on the President's plans to develop a National Garden of American Heroes. I think the garden is a brilliant idea and a wonderful oppmtunity to remind us of the men and women who conceived, built, molded, and continue to refine our country in positive ways. In terms of a Utah location that fits your criteria-including proximity to a population center, I encourage you to consider Utah's This is the Place Heritage Park. The park is a beautiful commemoration of the Mormon Pioneers that traveled 1,300 miles to escape religious persecution and settle the West. The park and the accomplishments it honors are a microcosm of the American story and exemplify the American spirit of freedom, perseverance, and ingenuity.

For nearly a century this West was portrayed in fiction, film, folklore and art as a vast arena of mythic struggles between rugged individuals, a hostile environment and even more hostile inhabitants. It was a place populated almost exclusively by single men: cowboys, miners, loggers, gold-panners and ranchers, single-mindedly creating new lives for themselves in unknown and challenging terrain. Women rarely featured, even in the work of historians, and when they did it was invariably as one of three types: genteel civilisers, sunbonneted helpmates or prostitutes. During the past two decades, however, historians of both women and the West have increasingly turned their attention to western women’s diaries, letters, journals, memoirs, novels, poems and oral histories.

    14. Angus M. Cannon: Pioneer, President, Patriarch By Donald Q. Cannon Donald Q. Cannon, “Angus M. Cannon: Pioneer, President, Patriarch,” in Supporting Saints: Life Stories of Nineteenth-Century Mormons, ed. Donald Q. Cannon and David J. Whittaker (Provo, UT: Brigham Young University, Religious Studies Center, 1985), 369–401. Angus M. Cannon: Pioneer, President, Patriarch Donald Q. Cannon Donald Q. Cannon was a professor of Church history and doctrine at Brigham Young University when this was published. He received his BA and MA from the University of Utah and his PhD from Clark University. He has published several books, articles, and book reviews, including the Far West Record. A great-grandson of Angus M. Cannon, he has spent considerable time studying Angus’s papers and journals. Angus Cannon often came to visit his son, Jesse F. Cannon. After dinner on one visit Angus went out in his fine Prince Albert coat and hat and tried to flag down the trolley. Unknown to Angus, the trolley company had recently changed that route to an express line, so the train failed to stop. Immediately, Angus went inside and called the president of the Utah Traction Company and told him to make sure all trains stopped for him. After all, he was President Angus M. Cannon! From then on the trolley did stop for Angus, wherever and whenever he flagged it down. [1] This incident, indicative of Angus Cannon’s aggressiveness and ability to command the respect of others, was related by his grandson, T. Quentin Cannon. Quayle Cannon, Jr., another grandson, recalls his impressions of Angus.
