Early Women’s Suffrage Handbill Lists Thomas Edison Amongst Supporters, 1915
Handbill
[Women Suffrage] These New Jersey Officials and Prominent Citizens are for Woman Suffrage. Are You? Vote Yes on the Suffrage Amendment, Oct. 19. New Jersey Woman Suffrage Association. 1915. Handbill prominently lists Thomas Edison in all capitals at the top of the list, before other notable New Jersey men who supported women’s voting rights, including political figures (Senator, Congressmen, Mayors, etc.) and business leaders. 1 sheet. 10 x 7.25 in. The amendment proposed in 1915 failed to pass, and women in New Jersey had to wait five years until the 19th Amendment extended women suffrage on the federal level. Very good condition. Even toning. Small losses in left corners, along right edge, and at bottom right edge. An important document that shows the public support women’s suffrage had in the years before it became federal policy.Item #16304
