Account of the progress for the Illinois Soldiers' Home

Description

This article from The Daily Inter Ocean in Chicago shows the developments with The Soldiers’ Home, a program for veterans where Myra Bradwell served as Vice President. The organization helped pay expenses, such as medical or property bills, for veterans who were too well coming out of the war to receive pensions but have since fallen ill.
Many women rights activists like Bradwell offered their time and efforts to other charities to show the services women could offer to aid society. This kind of social activism for her local community members who require assistance further demonstrates her diverse activism work.
