Biography Edit
Adelia Field was born in East Rodman, New York on March 30, 1839. Her parents were Leighton Field and Sophia Field. She graduated from New York State Normal School in Albany in 1860.[1] From 1883 to 1885, she studied medicine at the Medical College of Pennsylvania.[4] Fielde also studied biology for two years at the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, but did not receive a formal degree.[4]
At age 27, her fiancé went to Thailand to engage in missionary work, and she followed, only to find he had passed several weeks before her arrival.[5] She never married.[6]
In 1894, after the defeat of the women's suffrage amendment to the New York State constitution, Fielde was one of six prominent suffragists who founded the League for Political Education. She worked with other suffragists to establish the Volunteer Committee with the goal of targeting New York society, using her wealth and status she established as a missionary in China to facilitate her efforts.
