Miholland, who had been committed to workplace reform, including for children, African Americans, and women, also worked for woman suffrage. She married Eugen Jan Boissevain, a Dutch importer, later in 1913. In 1916, she died, collapsing at a western woman suffrage event. Eugen Jan Boissevain later married the poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay.
