Biography
Caroline Nichols Churchill was born in Pickering, Ontario, Canada on December 23, 1833 to American parents.[2][3] She emigrated to the United States to live with her grandmother in 1846. But only stayed less than a year. It was not until she married her first husband that she remained in the United States.[4] She taught in Minnesota in 1857.[3] Her husband died in 1862, leaving her with a small child to tend to while ill. She moved to California after she contracted tuberculosis.[4] She campaigned against misogynistic state laws there.[4] It was upon her travels to California that she began travel writing. Eventually publishing two books and selling them to earn money. One of her stop was in Denver where she founf the atmosphere delightful for her lungs and decided to stay.
In 1879, she founded the first feminist newspaper in Denver called the Colorado Antelope, lately known as the Queen Bee when she changed it three years after publication began.[2][5][6][7] She supported women's suffrage and temperance, and opposed Catholicism.[1] and supported equal rights for all American born citizens. She later moved in with her sister in Colorado Springs until her death in 1926. Until her death she continued to sell her newspaper and in 1906 wrote her last book which was a memoir.[3] (See Tuberculosis treatment in Colorado Springs).
