Julia Bullard Nelson
Julia Bullard Nelson (1842–1914) was an American temperance and women's rights activist from
Red Wing, Minnesota. Following the death of her husband and their only child, she went south to
Texas, in 1869, to teach former slaves in U.S. government-backed
Freedmen's Bureau schools. Nelson spent the summers of the 1870s and 1880s in Minnesota, where she emerged as a state and national leader in the movement for
women's suffrage and the
temperance campaign against alcohol use.
