CATHARINE'S INFLUENCE
"Here was an attractive type, sincere, frank, outspoken, doing nothing for show, unselfish, intensely interested in the welfare of women and children, and in civic, industrial and economic betterment. She was a pleasing and brilliant conversationalist, a ready public speaker, simple, clear, direct and convincing, without oratorical flourish. She was a pleasing and brilliant conversationalist, a ready public speaker, simple, clear, direct and convincing, without oratorical flourish. She had no art of coquetry, but did have an engaging friendliness with and sympathy for all kinds of people, and an ease, confidence and simplicity in meeting with others. She asked no favors on the ground of femininity but demanded all the rights of a human being."
