Marian Hord Hubbard

Marian "May" Hord Hubbard (1874 – November 22 1959) was an American suffragist and social reformer mainly active in Kentucky and Atlanta.

Hubbard was born in Maysville, Kentucky in 1874.[1][2] She married Murray Rodman Hubbard in January, 1903.[3]

When women earned the right to vote for school officials in Kentucky in 1912, Hubbard organized women to turn out and vote in Covington.[4] Hubbard worked with the Kentucky Equal Rights Association (KERA) and the Kentucky Federation of Women's Clubs (KFWC) in 1914 and 1915 as a lobbyist to Kentucky politicians.[5][6] She also kept state suffragists informed about voting news in Congress.[5] In these capacities, she urged all state political parties in Kentucky to support women's suffrage.[6] Hubbard was involved in other civic projects in Kentucky, including asking for women to serve on the police force.[7]

In the early 1920s, she moved to Atlanta where she was involved with the local League of Women Voters.[8] In the 1930s, she was involved in raising money for the Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School.[9][10]

Her husband died in 1922.[11] Marian Hubbard died in a hospital in Atlanta on November 22, 1959.[12]
