Her life and times are documented in The Life and Times of Elizabeth Upham Yates: A Crusader for Womens Suffrage, Temperance, and Missionary Work, which spans from her coastal Maine origins to her missionary activities in China in the 1880s and her political career in the 1920s. Upon her return to the United States from China, Yates gained recognition as a skilled orator, inspiring suffrage spirits on campaign trails nationwide. In 1920, the first year women could campaign for office in Rhode Island, she ran for the Democratic ticket for lieutenant governor, earning 50,000 votes. She fiercely criticized jingoists like Theodore Roosevelt in the New York Times and condemned male political leadership for their failure to address the lynching crisis. Throughout her long career, her suffrage sisters remembered her as a \"prophet and a dreamer.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShannon M.
