Handbill published by the New York State Woman Suffrage Association. Excerpts: "WOMEN IN THE HOME We are forever being told that the place for women is in the HOME. Well, so be it. But what do we expect of her in the home? Merely to stay in the home is not enough. She is a failure unless she does certain things for the home. She must make the home minister, as far as her means allow, to the health and welfare, moral as well as physical, of her family, and especially of her children. She, more than anyone else, is held responsible for what they become. SHE is responsible for the cleanliness of her house. SHE is responsible for the wholesomeness of the food. SHE is responsible for the children's heath. SHE, above all, is responsible for their morals, for their sense of truth, of honesty and decency, for what they turn out to be. How Far Can the Mother Control These Things?" Handbill goes on to argue that the elected city officials control many of the conditions that threaten children and families. These officials are elected by men, who must therefore share in the responsibility for these unsafe conditions. "In fact, MEN are responsible for the conditions under which the children live, but we hold WOMEN responsible for the results of those conditions. If we hold women responsible for the results, must we not, in simple justice, let them have something to say as to what these conditions shall be? There is one simple way of doing this. Give them the same means that men have. LET THEM VOTE. Women are, by nature and training, housekeepers. Let them have a hand in the city's housekeeping, even if they introduce and occasional house-cleaning."

New York State Woman Suffrage Party handbill that seeks to persuade men to vote for woman suffrage in November 1917. Text: "Your Vote Was handed to you when you became twenty-one years old. You didn't have to ask for it. You didn't have to prove that you were qualified for it. Our Government considers you are a thinking being and therefore can judge better than others what laws will be best for your welfare. Why shouldn't women be given this right too? Why shouldn't women be given this right too? Should not their opinions count when it comes to framing laws concerning them? Can YOU possibly imagine any one objecting to YOUR being allowed to vote? Yet fifty chances to one you would not have been permitted to vote if you had lived about a hundred and fifty years ago. You had to own a required amount of land and be a church-going Protestant. Only one of every fifty men could meet this requirement. In the early Colonial days men had no voice in the Government. Laws were made by the Governor and his council. Today practically every man may vote. YOU didn't have to work to bring about this change. The men before you, who believed in democracy, secured you YOUR vote. Will you in turn, further democracy and give woman the political freedom which you yourself have received? Vote for Woman Suffrage in November, 1917!"

Virginia Suffrage News, vol. 1, no. 1, October 1, 1914
First issue of the Virginia Suffrage News, a monthly newspaper published by the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia. From masthead p. 4 Alice Overbey Taylor, Managing Editor Mr.s G. Harvey Clarke (Mary Pollard Clarke), Editor-in-Chief Contributing Editors: Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett Mrs. Kate Langley Bosher Mrs. Emma Speed Sampson Miss Mary Johnston Mr. Carter Wormeley Mrs. Sally Nelson Robins Miss Cally Ryland The lead article is "W. J. Bryan, Secretary of State, Declares for Woman Suffrage" Foreword message from Lila Meade Valentine, President of the ESL of Virginia (p. 1) "The movement for the enfranchisement of woman has become so widespread in Virginia that there is great need for a regular means of communication between workers and sympathizers in all parts of the State.... For this is pre-eminently a co-operative movement--one in which good team work is required--one in which we must all pull together with a right good will. To do this effectively, we need the stimulus of the exchange of ideas, we need to inform ourselves of the activities of our local Leagues, as well as of the larger movement outside. To meet these needs, I commend to the suffragists of the State the "Virginia Suffrage News," which should bind us together in one harmonious whole, and I bespeak for it a wide circulation amongst all those interested in this next great step in the development of women." p. 8 "Suffragists Chuckle Over 'Etching' That Was Never Made for 'Lack of Space.'" recounts the story of an anti-suffrage essay contest held by the Richmond News-Leader, an "all-white" paper. The newspaper intended to publish an etching (portrait) of the winner until it was discovered that she was an African American.

Don't You Want to Reduce the High Cost of Living? [suffrage tri-fold]
Publication of the National Woman Suffrage Publishing Company, Inc. 171 Madison Avenue, New York City. Cover illustration by Rose O'Neill. This pamphlet tells women that, without the vote, all they can do is manage their own households. With the vote, they can bring about governmental protection of the food supply. Women are reminded to be careful housekeepers. "Don't Throw Away a Scrap of Food." Some recipes for careful housekeeping are printed on the final page. At the time this publication was printed, the United States was entering World War I. Rising food prices and limited supplies affected American citizens as food was shipped to soldiers and allies in Europe. Slogans and promotions such as "Food will win the war" and "Wheatless Wednesdays" urged Americans to eat less and eliminate waste.

Handbill in support of the Federal Suffrage Amendment. Congress proposed the Nineteenth Amendment on June 4, 1919. Ratification was completed on August 18, 1920. Text excerpts: DO IT NOW! Give the vote to the women of every state in the Union by Federal Constitutional Amendment. BECAUSE--Woman suffrage is inevitable all the world around; few deny it--why should the United States delay? ... BECAUSE--The Government which asks the women of the country to give their all to win a war for democracy abroad, cannot consistently deny them the vote, the symbol of democracy, at home. BECAUSE--The woman suffrage movement is a part of the great struggle of the world contest for fundamental human freedom, and until the amendment is ratified by the legislatures of the states the suffrage campaign must and will go on.

Pamphlet of speech delivered by Louis Brandeis at Fanueil Hall, Boston on July 5, 1915 in which he addresses the ideals and traditions he views as distinctly "American," such as liberty, democracy, social justice and a standard of living that includes fair working conditions, decent wages, education and financial independence. Brandeis names "inclusive brotherhood" - the welcoming of immigrants, racial equality and diversity - as the feature in these ideals that is "peculiarly American" and has led to America's prosperity. He concludes by suggesting the principles of Americanism could bring about lasting peace abroad. Pamphlet signed by Louis Brandeis on front cover. Along with the text of Brandeis' oration, the pamphlet includes a photograph of Rev. Charles W. Lyons, S. J., President of Boston College, Chaplain of the Day. An appendix, "A List of Boston Municipal Orators" by C. W. Ernst, lists Boston orators appointed by the Municipal Authorities beginning in 1771. Excerpts: p. 3 "The United States has grown great. The immigrants and their immediate descendants have proved themselves as loyal as any citizens of the country. Liberty has knit us closely together as Americans." p. 4 "But the adoption of our language, manners and customs is only a small part of the process. To become Americanized the change wrought must be fundamental." p. 5 "But let us not forget that many a poor immigrant comes to us from distant lands, ignorant of our language, strange in tattered clothes and with jarring manners, who is already truly American in this important sense; who has long shared our ideals and who, oppressed and persecuted abroad, has yearned for our land of liberty and for the opportunity of aiding in the realization of its aims." p.9 "America...has always declared herself for equality of nationalities as well as for equality of individuals. It recognizes racial equality as an essential of full human liberty and true brotherhood, and that racial equality is the complement of democracy."
