Title

Various Pro-Suffrage Booklets, ca. 1890-1910

Description

These flyers are an example of propaganda distributed by the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). In addition to pro-suffrage arguments, they addressed topics such as arguments of anti-suffrage organizations, benefits experienced in states where women voted, and contemporary politicians’ views on suffrage. The book “Woman Suffrage: Arguments and Results” is a compilation of eight of the NAWSA’s most popular booklets, produced to conveniently cover “practically the entire field of suffrage claims and evidence.” Interested citizens could purchase a sample of Political Equality leaflets for 10¢ (equivalent to about $3 in 2019) and a copy of the bound booklets for 25¢ (equivalent to about $8 in 2019), making them a relatively accessible source of information on the suffrage movement.
