Object Details

associated date: April 23, 1916

Description: Suffragists used holidays such as Easter to promote the cause of “Votes for Women.”; The National American Woman Suffrage Association began a postcard campaign in 1910, partly to raise awareness of the cause and partly as a fundraiser. The cards could be funny, serious, or sentimental. Some employed powerful patriotic symbols and logical arguments to make their case for woman’s right to vote.
