Helen Beatty Noland

Helen Beatty Noland (née Helen Hagerman Beatty; c. 1907 – April 15, 1962)[1][2] was an American civil servant and politician. She was a state legislator in Colorado who represented La Plata County,[3] from 1927 to 1930; and also worked for many years at the Colorado State Board of Public Health.[1]

Noland began her career as a Republican, but many years later she changed parties to Democrat out of admiration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.[4][1] She was married to James M. Noland, a district judge.[5] They lived in Durango, Colorado.[6]

She, Kittie Brighton, and Annah G. Pettee sponsored a bill in 1929 to allow physicians to provide information on birth control.[7] Noland also supported a bill in 1929 that supported equality for women.[6][8]
