She was chairman of the Public Service and the War Service committees of the Boston Equal Suffrage Association (BESA), secretary of the Massachusetts branch of the Congressional Union, secretary of the Executive Committee for the Boston Equal Suffrage Association Suffrage Coffee House at Ayer (Massachusetts), and later director and executive secretary of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Club in Boston.
