According to her obituary in Equal Rights 21, no.11 (1 June 1938): 272, Brooke died on February 8, 1938. She had been active in the Congressional Union and NWP for more than twenty-five years. She "was in the first group to start street meetings for Woman Suffrage before the first Suffrage Parade on March 3, 1913, in Washington," and for many years she spoke "every Saturday night at the Benjamin Franklin statue on Pennsylvania Avenue." The Chicago street meetings referenced in the title occurred during the 1916 political campaign.
