Madeline McDowell Breckinridge, National Suffrage Leader and Reformer
Madeline McDowell Breckinridge was born in Franklin County on May 20, 1872, to Major Henry Clay McDowell and Anne Clay. A member of two historic families, Madge would later marry Desha Breckinridge. Given such a heritage, no Kentucky politician could ignore this Progressive Era reformer and woman suffrage advocate.
