Newly Enfranchised Women in California Encourage Others to Fight for Voting Rights

Women Suffrage

Pamphlet

Early pamphlet, from the "California Federation of Women’s Clubs. A Survey of the Results of Woman Suffrage in California". Made by the Committee of Political Science Mrs. Seward A. Simons, Chairman. 1916-1917. This large early 4 page pamphlet, 12 ½ x 9 ½” (sheet unfolded). Gives updates on women’s participation in civic life, after women's suffrage passed in California in 1911. Includes statistics on voter registration, jury duty, and laws passed with women's support. It ends with an endorsement, espousing the benefits of women’s increased interest in political life, and encouraging their fellow countrywomen to continue the fight for voting rights. Light even toning and minor handling dents. Very good condition. At the time that this description is being written, just two copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time. A rare document of encouragement between women across the nation, committed and unified in their shared cause of women’s suffrage.
