Molly Campbell - Bio

A young and attractive girl, no older than 25 years is truly a girl out of her time. Strong, determined, a rebel and nothing will get in her way. Unlike women in her day, Molly is single and has never had a partner, causing many to frown upon her.   

This single life allows Molly to become a strong women’s rights advocate, campaigning on many issues in particular women’s suffrage.   Her determination for a voice sparked the creation of her journalistic career starting in the local paper as a typist but her dislike for being stuck behind the desk, not having a voice, and not covering the ‘real’ issues that concerned many women lead her to start her own all female magazine called  ‘The Woman’s Suffrage United Magazine’. 

As an inspirational leader, she shows her fellow colleagues how to annoy lawmakers.  It wasn’t uncommon for her to lead a group of women in protest to show they can be as strong and on an even par with men. They would often be arrested and be thrown into jail overnight. Despite this, her determination never changes.   

The views printed in her magazine are highly controversy, talking, writing and campaigning on issues like equal opportunity such as equal pay, the right to remain single, women’s suffrage and legal issues such as divorce and abortion. Many politicians and even older woman found her annoying and troublesome; many describe her as a pest. There have been attempts to shut her up permanently by various means. She would be classified as a modern day feminist stuck in the wrong time. 

So what lead her to being such a strong force? It had a lot to do with her childhood. Her father was a heavy drinker spending many nights in the gentleman only clubs leaving her mother and her alone. Like most women of the day, her mother accepted this way of life and wouldn’t speak about it. However, when her father was at home, he was unpleasant, always smoking and treated them unfairly. Not long after the age of 10, Molly father walked out, never to be seen again.  

This disgraceful disrespect towards her mother, lead her on a crusade to make sure that when she grew up, life for her and her fellow females, would never be like that again.
