“Mack, Mary, Miss. Early twentieth century
suffragette and campaigner for women’s rights.
Her distinctive dress, ‘with silver buttons all down
the back’ gave rise to a street ballad popular among
those who opposed the emancipation of women.
Made financially secure by the estate of her wealthy
mother, she went on to do pioneering work in
vertebrate zoology, publishing monographs on the
migratory habits of Indian Elephants which
continue to excite interest, though details of her
study have been contradicted by the reports of later
observers.”
a final word from the webmaster at Mike Mills' web page leads me to believe all of the above are true. he said it was an Adam H. choice and that he believed she was some "turn of the century criminal or something"
the fact that Adam's wife's band celebrates a suffragette in the form of the children's song named after reinforces this theory.
