Excerpt from Whitman's Ideal Democracy, and Other Writings: With a Biography by the Editor, Helen Tufts

When her family moved to Bristol she advanced step by step into the broader currents of thought, but found herself struggling for expres sion against a well-nigh insuperable difiidence that Was never entirely overcome, though in later years it became one of her sweetest and most lovable qualities. In Bristol Helena naturally entered the coterie of men and women who in the metropolis of the west of England eagerly fol lowed the intellectual and public interests of the day. She became an active worker in the Bristol Women'ss Liberal Association, seeking free dom and equality for women through suffrage, civic reform, and polit ical education, and for several years was a member of the Executive Committee of the Association.
