She dreams of the "Mother's Home at Sea Breeze."

"The Child Labor Amendment" to U.S. Constitution. [Anti- Child Labor Amendment pamphlet]
A report by the Committee on Industrial Relations to the New York Board of Trade and Transportation. <br /><br />The pamphlet states that a child labor amendment is not needed and that “…it makes a natural and sympathetic appeal calculated to forestall criticism or disarm antagonism…” (p.1) It also outlines arguments against the amendment, including that many problems of child labor have already been addressed; the amendment impinges on parent child relationships; that child labor issues are local rather than national ones and that states have the “necessary powers” to oversee them; and that an amendment would lead to the “Communistic or Bolshevistic Nationalization of Children.” (p. 6)<br /><br />The report is signed by the Committee on Industrial Relations<br /><br />William McCarroll, Chairman<br />August Goldsmith<br />Edwin S. Bayer<br />Frank B. McCord<br />E. C. Miller<br />John G. Walber<br />Dudley Farrand<br /><br />Adopted December 10, 1924 by New York Board of Trade and Transportation.

Do You Know Where Your Clothes Are Washed? A Bulletin on Laundry Conditions in New York City
Do You Know Where Your Clothes Are Washed? A Bulletin on Laundry Conditions in New York City. Issued by The Consumers' League of the City of New York. This bulletin addresses the physical conditions, hours, and wages of laundries in New York City.<br /><br />"When Maggie Corbett, a fifteen year old girl, testified before the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration that she had worked in a public laundry for more than two years, and that she had often worked 14 or 15 hours in one day in a hot, steam-filled room, every housewife who read the newspapers was horrified that such a state of affairs could exist in an industry so closely connected with her own household economy."

Effect of the Vote of Women on Legislation
This booklet is "an investigation in the equal suffrage states made in Dec., 1913, by 'The Evening Sun,' of New York City, and Brought up to the end of the legislative session of 1915." This report investigates the following questions: 1) "Do women who have the vote vote?" 2) "What laws have their votes passed?" and 3) "Is woman suffrage considered a success by the States that have it?" In summary, the results of this investigation were "Women who have the vote do vote. Their ballot has already passed a considerable body of law. The suffrage States seem to be satisfied to have women go on voting."

Women in the Home [suffrage handbill]
Handbill published by the New York State Woman Suffrage Association. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /> <br />"WOMEN IN THE HOME <br /><br />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. <br />SHE is responsible for the cleanliness of her house. <br />SHE is responsible for the wholesomeness of the food. <br />SHE is responsible for the children's heath. <br />SHE, above all, is responsible for their morals, for their sense of truth, of honesty and decency, for what they turn out to be. <br /><br />How Far Can the Mother Control These Things?" <br /><br />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.<br /><br />"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.<br /><br />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."

Votes for Women! The Woman's Reason. Because [suffrage handbill]
Handbill published by the New York State Woman Suffrage Association. <br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><br />Votes for Women! The Woman's Reason. Because <br /><br />BECAUSE women must obey the laws just as men do, They should vote equally with men.<br />BECAUSE women pay taxes just as men do, thus supporting the government, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE women suffer from bad government just as men do, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE mothers want to make their children's surroundings better, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE over 5,000,000 women in the United States are wage workers and their health and that of our future citizens are often endangered by evil working conditions that can only be remedied by legislation, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE women of leisure who attempt to serve the public welfare should be able to support their advice by their votes, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE busy housemothers and professional women cannot give such public service, and can only serve the state by the same means used by the busy men--namely, by casting a ballot, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE women are sonsumers, and sonsumers need fuller representation in politics, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE women are citizens of a government of the people, by the people and for the people, and women are people. They should vote equally with men. <br />EQUAL SUFFRAGE FOR MEN AND WOMEN.<br />WOMEN Need It. <br />MEN Need IT. <br />The STATE Needs IT.<br />WHY?<br />BECAUSE Women Ought to GIVE Their Help.<br />Men Ought to HAVE Their Help.<br />The State Ought to USE Their Help.

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

Interracial News Service, vol. 10, no. 5. October, 1939
A news digest published by the Department of Race Relations, Federal Council of Churches, New York, NY. <br /><br />The Federal Council of Churches was an ecumenical association of Protestant denominations in the United States founded in Philadelphia in 1908. It merged with other ecumenical bodies in 1950 to form the present day National Council of Churches. <br /><br />Masthead: "Gleanings from press releases and other sources to inform busy but sincere people of some of the things affecting the lives of racial minorities. Let's do away with walls ! 'We are all one in Christ Jesus.'<br />The Material in the News Service is given for information and is not to be construed as declarations of official attitudes or policies of the Department of Race Relations or the Federal Council of Churches." <br /><br />This issue begins with the section "Negroes and the War." "The outbreak of war in Europt has brought penetrating comments from Negroes. We quote from editorials in various papers--all published by Negroes." The use of black troops by colonial powers is denounced. <br /><br />Other items include a notice that Booker T. Washington is to be the first black American honored by the U. S. Government with his face on a postage stamp; the appointment of <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/10/obituaries/10bolin.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="NYTimes obituary for Jane Bolin">Jane Bolin</a> as the first African American woman judge; and the significant bequest of <a href="https://hamiltonhistorical.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="more about John W.

A 100 Per Cent Opinion! [editorial cartoon by Fred O. Seibel]
Editorial cartoon by Fred O. Seibel for <em>The Knickerbocker Press.</em> Mounted and identified as no. 929. <br /><br />The cartoon was created in April 1920 after duly-elected assemblymen were expelled from the New York State Assembly. The Speaker of the Senate at the time was Republican Thaddeus C. Sweet. The socialist lawmakers were August Claessens and Louis Waldman of Manhattan; Charles Solomon of Brooklyn; and Samuel Orr and Samuel A. DeWitt of the Bronx. <br /><br />Image Description: <br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaddeus_C._Sweet" target="_blank" title="Thaddeus C. Sweet - Wikipedia article" rel="noreferrer noopener">Thaddeus C. Sweet</a> sits at a desk covered in papers. <br /><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Evans_Hughes" target="_blank" title="Who was Charles E. Hughes?" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charles E. Hughes</a> addresses Speaker Sweet saying, "I deeply regret the action of the Assembly in suspending five members of the Socialist Party who were duly elected. Are Socialists, unconvicted of crime, to be denied the ballot? If Socialists are permitted to vote, are they not permitted to vote for their own candidates?"<br /><br />In the lower left corner "Moses Crow" says, "The people still believe in the ballot box!"
