Inez, originally
a Spanish name, comes from the Greek, ‘Pure’.One of the most famous
women bearing the name was Inez Millholland-Boissevain.Born in 1886 in Brooklyn,
New York, Millholland became one of the leaders of the National Women’s Party and strived to create a name for suffrage
not only at Vassar, where she attended college, but strove to bring attention to the movement nationally.Millholland died at the age of thirty due to pernicious anemia in 1916.
"Not to know what things in life require remedying is a crime...It
leaves you at the mercy of events-it lets life manipulate you-instead of training you to manipulate life." ~Inez Millholland
“When you educate a man, you educate an individual, but when you educate a woman, you educate a nation.”
