Kingsbury, Elizabeth A.
American suffragist and Theosophist. Beginning a career as a public lecturer in 1856, in 1885 she founded the first suffrage organization in Southern California, the Woman Suffrage Association of Los Angeles, serving as its president for five years before returning to her Eastern home. In 1891 she was President of the Los Angeles T. S. (chartered 1885).
Contributed "Swinging Round the Circle" to The Path (January 1891), contrasting, across three generations of roughly twenty years each, Puritan and Spiritualist beliefs about sin, the soul, heredity and re-union after death with the Theosophical teaching of reincarnation, karma and Devachan. Also read a paper, "The Witch of Endor," before a headquarters meeting of the Los Angeles T. S., reported at length by the Los Angeles Express (March 1891).
