This site is made possible by Mary Imrie-McGowan, who dedicates it
to Vi Dawson and hopes it will stir other women, and girls, to make
some history. From her many personal and professional
accomplishments one would not imagine that Vi was plagued all her life
with ill health, including lupus, epilepsy, and other ailments which claimed her
in 2002. Her inspiration and can-do attitude toward Senator Smith's
seismic political "test" touched and moved a weary world.
Site devised and edited by PrivateBiographer.com.
Primary research and narrative by Eric Martin.
The Margaret Chase Smith Library.
