Agnes Miller was one of the earliest leaders of the women’s liberation movement in the United States. She was (26) born on a farm in Missouri in 1892 and had a very happy life as a child. She was the only daughter and the youngest child of five. Her parents and her brothers always treated her as their favorite.
     (26) In 1896 the family moved to Chicago. Three years later they moved back to St. Louis, where Agnes spent the rest of her childhood. She enjoyed her years in school and was an outstanding student of mathematics. She was aslo quite skillful as a painter.
     It was when Agnes went off to college that she first became aware that women were not treated as equals. She didn’t like being treated unequally but she tried not to notice it. (27) After graduating from college she tried to get a job in her major field--physics. She soon found it was almost impossible for a woman.
     Agnes spent a full year looking for a job. Finally she gave up in anger. (28) She began writing letters of protest to various newspapers. An editor in New York liked her ideas very much, and was especially impressed with her style of writing. He asked her to do a series of stories about them. Her articles began to appear in more and more newspapers. (28)She decided to write a book in support of women’s liberation. The book became a best seller. Although she never saw full equal rights for women, she never gave up her fight. And she showed many other women the way to continue the fight.
