Caroline Scott Harrison (1832-1892), wife of President Benjamin Harrison, advocated for the arts and worked to expand women's influence outside the home.

She campaigned to gain women's admission to John Hopkins Medical School, 1890.

As First Lady (1889-1892), Harrison promoted preserving the White House and its collections. She secured congressional funds to direct renovations modernizing the interior, saved historic furnishings, and founded the White House China Collection. She served as President General of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution from 1890 until death.
