On Maryland's Eastern Shore, the farming village of Still Pond wrote in its charter a guarantee that women taxpayers had the right to vote in all municipal elections. In 1908, 14 women registered to vote including two African American women. On election day, three of the women along with 72 men showed up to vote. Those three women who went down in history as Maryland's first women to vote are: Anna Baker Maxwell, Eliza Lily Deringer Kelly & Mary Jane Clark Howard.
