The Cushing sister of interest to the Women's Memorial is Betsy Cushing Roosevelt Whitney, who served as a member of the first DACOWITS.

Their mother, Katherine "Kate" Crowell Cushing was a formidable social climbing force in the lives of her daughters. The most important lesson was to marry well, $$$$ ( )
