To teach deaf children to communicate by lip reading rather than signing. She met Calvin Coolidge in 1904 and they were married in 1925. Coolidge did not speak out on political issues of the day, including women’s rights. Instead, she dedicated herself to supporting popular causes and organizations, such as the “Red Cross and the “Visiting Nurse Association”. Following the unexpected death of her young teenage son Calvin in 1924 from blood poisoning, she won the sympathy of the country.
