Frances Matilda Abbott (August 18, 1857 – September 21, 1939)[1] was an American suffragist and naturalist. The first woman from Concord, New Hampshire, to earn a bachelor's degree, Abbott often wrote on suffrage for national newspapers and participated in many suffragist organizations.[2] She also authored texts on Concord wildlife and genealogy for local audiences, leading to her inclusion on several contemporary lists of notable American women.[2][3][4]
