Tennessee Celeste Claflin (October 26, 1845 - January 18, 1923) was an American suffragist best known as one of the first women to open a Wall Street brokerage firm. Her stock market gains financed the publication of her radical feminist newspaper, and she was an advocate of legalized prostitution. At the stock and gold exchanges, the news of a brokerage firm operated by women was greeted with a frenzy of speculation. From early morning until the close of business, men and boys crowded the sidewalk outside their office at 44 Broad Street, peering through the windows and doors to get a look at this new creatures; the female stockbroker. With Susan B. Anthony and Lucretia Mott, she led a delegation of women before the United States Senate, and demanded the right to vote. She also nominated Lucretia Mott for President of the United States. She once held the unique position of colonel of a regiment of negroes. She died in 1923 at the age of 77.
