Susan B. Anthony brought the woman's rights movement to Fort Dodge in June 1871. Swisshelm 1874. Both were guests of A.M. Swain, a time when Swain reported that doors remained closed to advocates and people were afraid of womens rights. Baptist churchs opened their doors, for the State Society's annual meeting. In 1875, annual meeting of the State Society were held in different cities to create petitions for legislature and to congress. Delegates of the State nominating conventions of the political parties asked for recognition of woman's right to the ballet in their platforms. Anthony lecture "Woman Wants Bread, not the Ballot," was given in over one hundred cities and villiages in the State.
The late convention of the State Society was successfuly held in Fort Dodge. Swain handed in her ballot several years were it was not received or counted.
By 1884 Swain was an accredited delegate of the Indianapolis National Greenback convention to nominate a candidate for the presidency.^[citation] That year the the question of woman suffrage to a direct vote the amendment came to the General Assembly for ratification, and the Senate passed the bill

Lead
[edit]I like the lead of the live page. It is straight to the fact and provides a glimpse of what the article will discuss. I notice that Adeline M. Swain was not inducted to Iowa Women's Hall of Fame until 2000. I wonder if it was just discovered then Adeline's contribution to the Women's suffrage movement or if it was because of another reason. If you could find a fact about that it would be interested and great to add, but if not, that is fine as the lead so far provides the important information needed for the article.
Article Body
[edit]The additional information you seek to add looks great. It is a good point that you add the different places that allow people who supported the suffrage movement to stay in these places. For example Baptist churches. The live article mentions how Adeline M. Swain bought a larger home than usual. It did not occur to me that it could be so that they could house boarders and host events. I wonder if the assumption was for them to earn more revenue, or was it necessarily for those in the suffrage movement, or both. Either way, adding additional places that supported people from the suffrage movement is great.
The last paragraph looks like you are expecting to add a citation. It would be good to go ahead and add the citation so that you will have time to add the information to the live page.
Some sentences have spelling that could be reviewed. However, overall, the additional information helps add more information to the article and helps verify and confirm the article's notable person.
Reference
[edit]From this reference: https://uipress.lib.uiowa.edu/bdi/DetailsPage.aspx?id=372 , I notice that additional information can be added. In the live article, I notice that her religious background is mentioned, and it states that it changed as she progressed with the suffrage movement. In addition, the article reads about family member she went on to live with, brother. It was there that she lived until her death.
In this source, I found some additional information too that can be added, for example the additional occupations that her husband did. You can briefly add how they both became the first to own a drugstore in the town and additionally were the first charter members of the first Spiritualist Society of Fort Dodge, Iowa. Furthermore, this source goes on to say how Adeline M. Swain was an advocate of women's political equality and was elected honorary vice-president for life of the National Suffrage organization.
