1935: (Wood and Winsor Visit Haiti and the LFAS — Earlier in 1935 US Suffragists Helena Wood and Mary Winsor Best Known for Their Women’s Rights Protests for Which They Were Both Arrested Visiting Haiti and the LFAS Women, Sent by Boris Stevens the Inter-American Commission for Women President to Show Support for the Haitian Ratification of the Treaty on Women’s Nationality Signed by Haitian Ambassadors at the 1933 Conference in Montevideo): Earlier in 1935, US suffragists Helena Wood and Mary Winsor — best known for their women’s rights protests for which they were both arrested — visited Haiti and the LFAS women. The women were sent by Boris Stevens, the Inter-American Commission for Women president, to show support for the Haitian ratification of the Treaty on Women’s Nationality that was signed by Haitian ambassadors at the 1933 conference in Montevideo. The visit demonstrated that the LFAS’s organizing was not parochial but connected to regional women’s movements — the same international networks that the occupation had disrupted were being rewoven by the women’s movement.
