Frances Munds

Frances Lillian Willard Fannie Munds was an American suffragist and leader of the suffrage movement within Arizona. After achieving her goal of statewide womens suffrage, she went on to become a member of the Arizona Senate more than five years before ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution granted the vote to all American women.

Munds was born Frances Lillian Willard in Franklin, California, on June 10, 1866, the eighth child of Joel and Mary Grace Vinyard Willard and a granddaughter of Alexander Hamilton Willard. Her family were ranchers who moved to Nevada before moving on to the Arizona Territory. Willard was educated at the Central Institute in Pittsfield, Maine, graduating in 1885.
