Colorado was the second state to give women suffrage and the first state where the men voted to give women the right to vote. Measures 9.5” x 6” inches folded, forming 4 pages. A firsthand account of the first election in Colorado following the granting of woman suffrage in the state. “Probably thirty thousand women voted, and not only voted but bore their part in the party and public duties of the day, I am left to the frank and manly duty of saying that even this last feeling of fear as to woman suffrage on my part is gone; and that the highest minded man, however jealous and sheltering he may be of his wife, mother, or daughter, as against contact with any rude touch of the world, could not have found cause for objection at any of these polls tuesday [...] The American woman is clearly as much of a queen at the polls, in her own bearing and in the deference paid her, as in the drawing room or at the opera.”. Original fold, plus mailing envelope fold. A few small rust spots, closed tear near top of margin. In very good condition. Scarce.
