In the 1912 Oberlin College Yearbook, Rich is described as, “One of those welcome faces that brings sunshine to life’s shadowed places.” A champion of women’s suffrage, she served as vice-president of the Illinois League of Women Voters from 1923 to 1926. Rich had organized programs for Jane Addams’ Hull House for many years. Beginning in 1935 until 1937, she served as the head resident of Jane Addams’ Hull House.
