SOCIAL ACTIVIST AND SUFFRAGIST
McDougal joined her husband in Sapulpa in 1904. She organized the Sapulpa Reading Club and Oklahoma Authors Guild, among others. In 1905 when oil was discovered on their land, they purchased a two-story Queen Anne home which became the gathering place for artists, musicians and writers. By 1813 McDougal was a well known suffragist. After the 19th Amendment passed in 1920, she was a member of the Democratic National Committee for sixteen years.
