Women Suffrage
Women in the Home": Suffrage Broadside Promoting Mothers' Need to Vote in New York
1910. SUFFRAGE BROADSIDE "Women in the Home." New York: National Woman Suffrage Publishing Company. No date but circa 1910. An important and rare broadside confronting the notion that women's domesticity precluded them from equal citizenship and defending a mother's necessity to vote to improve her children's future: "Let them have something to say…LET THEM VOTE.". A powerful and scarce suffrage broadside issued by the National Woman Suffrage Publishing Company the official propaganda arm of the National American Woman Suffrage Association NAWSA. The text directly confronts one of the most persistent anti-suffrage arguments—that women’s natural sphere of influence was limited to the domestic sphere—and instead reframes the home as precisely the reason women required the ballot. In emphatic prose it declares: “Let them have something to say…LET THEM VOTE.†The message aligns women’s maternal responsibilities with civic duty arguing that without political rights mothers were powerless to shape the economic and social conditions that governed their children’s futures. <br /> <br /> The National Woman Suffrage Publishing Company founded in 1910 in New York produced an array of leaflets broadsides and posters designed for maximum visual impact in public spaces. This example typifies their rhetorical strategy of leveraging traditional domestic ideals in order to legitimize demands for political equality. Distributed widely in the years leading up to the 19th Amendment such broadsides are now rare survivals as most were ephemeral pieces meant to be pasted in windows posted on walls or handed out at rallies. For institutional collections the piece is significant as both a material artifact of suffrage activism and a testament to the ways women activists negotiated cultural expectations of femininity to advance radical claims for equal citizenship. Minor wrinkling to bottom left corner small tape mark to bottom center edge chips to the left edge not affecting text. Overall very good condition. unknown

Women Suffrage, George Hoar
Women Suffrage Broadside Woman's Participation is Necessary to Cleanse American politics of Corruption 1885
1885. Women Suffrage Hoar Hon. Geo. F. Woman's Co-Operation Essential to Pure Politics. Boston: American Woman Suffrage Association 1885. Broadside 4 pp. folded folio sheet triple columns 9.5 × 10.5 inches. Caption title as issued. A rare suffrage broadside printing a speech by U.S. Senator George Frisbie Hoar 1826–1904 of Massachusetts one of the few prominent male legislators of the period to ally himself publicly with woman suffrage. Published by the American Woman Suffrage Association the liberal Republican senator argues that women’s participation is necessary to cleanse American politics of corruption and elevate civic life. To reinforce his claim Hoar includes two supporting letters from Western officials in territories where women already held the franchise: Chief Justice Greene of Washington Territory who asserts that “ambisexual suffrage†there had proven successful and Governor Warren of Wyoming who affirms that women voters strengthened the political fabric of his state.<br /> <br /> The American Woman Suffrage Association co-founded by Lucy Stone Julia Ward Howe and Henry Blackwell issued such broadsides to circulate pro-suffrage arguments from respected public figures. This 1885 piece is particularly notable for tying suffrage to “pure politics†presenting enfranchisement not only as a matter of justice but as a practical reform tool to combat bribery and machine influence. For institutional collections it offers direct documentary evidence of how suffragists strategically leveraged male allies in high office to broaden credibility and appeal. Its inclusion of territorial testimony also highlights how suffragists drew on the lived experiments of the West to counter fears in the East. Tiny edge tears along a neat horizontal fold light soiling else well-preserved. Overall Near Fine. unknown

Pamphlet. 12p. wraps unevenly browned and edge worn closed tear in right margin else good condition 6x9 inches. Signed in type by: Elizabeth Cady Stanton Susan B Anthony Alice Stone Blackwell Carrie Chapman Catt and others.<br /> <br /> Formed in 1890 NAWSA National American Woman Suffrage Association.was the result of a merger between two rival factions--the National Woman Suffrage Association NWSA led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony and the American Woman Suffrage Association AWSA led by Lucy Stone Henry Blackwell and Julia Ward Howe. These opposing groups were organized in the late 1860s partly as the result of a disagreement over strategy. NWSA favored women's enfranchisement through a federal constitutional amendment while AWSA believed success could be more easily achieved through state-by-state campaigns. NAWSA combined both of these techniques securing the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 through a series of well-orchestrated state campaigns under the dynamic direction of Carrie Chapman Catt. With NAWSA's primary goal of women's enfranchisement now a reality the organization was transformed into the League of Women Voters. unknown

Women's Legal Right to the Ballot 1886 Pamphlet by Male Suffragist
Women Suffrage Law Minor. Francis. Women's Legal Right to the Ballot An Argument in Support Of. Reprinted from The Forum. December 1886. 8.5" x 6" inches. 10 pages. This pamphlet was written by lawyer and woman's rights advocate Francis Minor. Minor was married to suffragist Virginia Minor famed for her unsuccessful but precedent-setting Supreme Court case Minor v. Happersett where she argued that citizenship necessitated the right to vote. The Court held that while women are no less citizens than men are citizenship does not confer a right to vote and therefore state laws barring women from voting are constitutionally valid. The 19th Amendment which prohibited the state from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex effectively overruled Minor v. Happersett in 1920. Minor never backed down from this belief that citizenship conferred equal rights and opens up this pamphlet with the statement: "in the United States and under the Federal Constitution suffrage whether for men or for women is an attribute of their federal citizenship; that it is one of the essential privileges of a citizen of the United States inhering in the status or condition of such citizenship." Upon Minor's death in 1892 Susan B. Anthony wrote of him: "No man has contributed to the woman suffrage movement so much valuable constitutional argument and proof as Mr. Minor.†This pamphlet is in its original yellow paper wrappers and is in very good condition overall. unknown
