rights: the right to petition, the right to vote ,
among others. An avid volunteer, Bloomer challenged the existing social and
political culture. She led a civic life that affected the nation's public
agenda. She would shape and be shaped by political institutions, the media, and
individual reformers with whom she shared the stage. Ultimately, Bloomer made her mark as
suffragist, editor, and temperance leader, but to many of her contemporaries
she was most associated with the so-called Bloomer costume. Bloomers, actually
man-like trousers underneath a shorter-than-fashionable skirt, fit "The
Move Toward Rational Dress." The reaction hardly
seemed rational.” Includes the petition and Teaching
