Rosalie Jones was raised in an anti-suffrage household in Cold Spring Harbor, a hamlet on Long Island, New York. In 1911, she took part in her first suffrage meeting, an outdoor meeting in New York City. In 1912 and 1913, Rosalie was president of the Nassau County chapter of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). In the spring of 1912, she traveled around Long Island in a “Votes for Women” wagon pulled by a horse.
