  Edith Nourse Rogers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rogers' volunteer work in World War I exposed her to the status of the women with the United States Army, and the much more egalitarian role of women in the British Army.
Rogers approached the Army Chief of Staff George Marshall, and with his strong support she reintroduced the bill to the 77th Congress with a new upper limit of 150,000 women, and an amendment giving the women full military status.

John Rogers, a Populist, was a natural for the next gubernatorial election, and was elected as the third governor of the State of Washington with a plurality of 12,000 votes, only six years after his arrival.
Rogers was elected in reaction to the economic depression, but the hard times disappeared in a single day when on July 17, 1897 the steamer Portland arrived in Seattle from the Alaskan goldfields with its "Ton of Gold!" (actually gold dust worth about $800,000).
After his re-election, Rogers continued his fight to hold down spending and taxes, but he had little chance to implement his programs, as he was blocked on all sides by the Republicans.

 Turf: The Green Dream: A Populist Paradise? (Seattle Weekly)
Rogers represented the People's Party, a fusion of Populist, Democrat, Republican, and independent supporters who were tired of government that worked hand in hand with the haves.
Rogers and the populists supported many of the reforms we now take for granted: equal public education for all, women's suffrage, direct election of senators, citizens' initiatives, referendums and recalls, progressive taxation, public transportation, and limited government run by people based on merit, not patronage.
Not all of these reforms happened during Rogers' lifetime (he died shortly into his second term, in 1901, after being re-elected as a Democrat), but most were enacted within 25 years of the populist movement he led.
