She represented Denver at the national Conference of Jewish Charities meeting, and at the National Conference of Charities and Corrections in Ohio in 1899. She helped to organize the Denver Jewish Settlement Home,[1] and worked for free kindergarten for immigrant children.[2] She wrote to national Jewish publications about women's suffrage from the perspective of Colorado women, explaining, "In Colorado we have had the enfranchisement of women for twenty-three years and I know of no homes that have been broken up on account of this."[3] She represented the National Council of Women at the International Congress of Women in the Hague in 1922,[4][5] and continued active on international women's issues.[6] She was president of the Denver chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW). In 1911 she became executive secretary of the National Jewish Hospital for Consumptives in Denver; she had been, since its founding, a successful traveling fundraiser for the hospital.[7] During her tenure the hospital established a research department.[8] She retired from that work in 1938.[9] A wing of the hospital was named for her in 1925.[2][10] Personal lifeSeraphine Eppstein married Edward Pisko in 1878, when she was seventeen years old.
