A Million Women Appeal for Justice: “To deprive Women of a vote against their wish is Tyranny”

New York Women’s Suffrage

Broadside

A Million Women Appeal to the Voters of New York for Justice. New York: Empire State Campaign Committee, 1915. 1 page. 9 x 5 ½ in. At the time that this description is being written, only one copy is recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time. Printed in advance of the 1915 New York election, in which women’s suffrage was on the ballot as a statewide initiative.

The broadside lists the number of women who want to vote in New York, the number of women already able to vote in other states, and leading political officials in favor of women's suffrage(such as President Wilson and the NY Governor). The Empire State Campaign Committee was a coalition of many suffrage organizations and was headed by famous activist Carrie Chapman Catt in order to bring New York women together in support of the state woman suffrage amendment. The referendum was defeated in 1915 but passed two years later in November 1917. Dented upper left corner; light diagonal creases.. Very good.
