Frank Mondell of Wyoming, pictured here c. 1913, led the fight for the Anthony Amendment in the House “when friends were scarcer than they are today,” the NWP crowed. NAWSA praised him as a man “who always was ready to champion the cause.” In 1915, though the amendment lost, Republicans under his leadership voted 2-1 in favor. In 1916, he yielded the honor of introducing it to newly-elected Jeannette Rankin; three years later, as Majority Leader, he worked with James Mann to pass it in a landslide.
