16270 — Small broadside comparing women's suffrage in different U.S. states before the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. 7 x 5 in. Excellent condition. Expected toning. This broadside compares the status and voting rights of women in different states specifically comparing the status of women in Western states where they were granted the vote earlier. The broadside states that "Women now vote on equal terms with men" in twelve listed states; it especially emphasizes Nevada and Montana which adopted equal suffrage in 1914. The broadside was originally printed to call for the vote for women from New Jersey although handwritten modifications have altered it to specifically reference New York. An interesting document that emphasizes the greater voting progress afforded to women in Western states before universal suffrage in the U.S. unknown books
