Early Twentieth Century Feminism and the Women’s Suffrage Movement

This remarkable original 1919 historical broadside serves as an authentic artifact from the American women’s suffrage movement, created just before the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. Commissioned for a local university branch titled the “College for Women Suffrage Party,” the document utilizes hand-lettered calligraphy to advertise an upcoming political meeting. The charming yet impactful campaign design reflects the grassroots organizing strategies and psychological messaging deployed by female activists to engage the community and garner widespread support for voting equality.
