}}Naomi Bowman Talbert Anderson (March 1, 1843 – ?) was a African American suffragist, temperance leader, civil rights activist, and writer[1] who advocated for equal rights for all genders and races in the 1870s.[1] She wrote poetry and gave speeches highlighting the experience of African American women who were still enslaved by their inability to vote, receiving considerable praise from other suffragists for her contributions to the movement.[3]

Early life and education

Anderson was born to free black parents, Elijah and Guilly Ann Bowman, in Michigan City, Indiana.[2] The Bowmans were one of two black families in Michigan City where Anderson was barred from the segregated Indiana Public Schools.[1] Her mother hired her a private tutor where she developed her writing skills.[1] When the Michigan City white community noticed her talent in poetry, she was admitted to a previously all-white school at age 12.[1] Her mother died in 1860, and Anderson's father did not place the same emphasis on education, keeping her from attending college.[2]

Women's suffrage and advocacy

Anderson volunteered with the International Organization of Grand Templars in Chicago and later the Women's Christian Temperance Union to promote temperance.[2] Soon, she began speaking about women's suffrage, beginning at the first Woman's Rights Convention in 1869.[1] From 1869 through the 1870s, she wrote articles on women, Christianity, and temperance for newspapers including the Chicago Tribune and the Dayton Journal. In 1892, she worked alongside white suffragists to campaign for one of the nation's first state woman suffrage referendums.[2]

When Anderson lived in San Francisco in the 1890s, she lobbied the state legislature in favor women's suffrage. Activists Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton both praised her contributions to the movement.[2] Anderson's rhetoric spoke to previously enslaved men and asked them to acknowledge that African American women would continue to be enslaved until they received the right to vote.[3]
