Beware! Men of the South [anti-suffrage handbill]
An anti-suffrage handbill which attempted to sway men's opinions by making them fearful. This one asks the reader to recall the American Civil War, which had taken place during their parents' lifetime.<br /><br />Text: <br /><br />"BEWARE! <br />MEN OF THE SOUTH: Heed not the song of the suffrate siren! Seal your ears against her vocal wiles! For, no matter how sweetly she may proclaim the advantage of female franchise, --<br /><br />REMEMBER that Woman Suffrage mean a re-opening of the entire Negro Suffrage question; loss of state rights; and another period of reconstruction horrors, which will introduce a set of female carpetbaggers as bad as their male prototypes of the sixties.<br /><br />DO NOT JEOPARDIZE the present prosperity of your sovereign states, which was so dearly bought by the blood of your fathers and the tears of your mothers, by again raising an issue which has already been adjusted at so great a cost. <br /> <br />NOTHING can be gained by woman suffrage and everything may be lost!

Shoulder to Shoulder. March for ERA [handbill]
Handbill advertising a march in support of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The rally was held on Saturday, May 2, 1981 in Raleigh, North Carolina. <br /><br />The deadline for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment was 1982; however, Congress has the power to extend that deadline. The states that have not ratified the amendment as of January 2019 are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, and Virginia. <br /><br />This handbill shows silhouettes of people walking with their arms around each other. Beneath the image is a quote from Susan B. Anthony, "There will never be another season of silence until women have the same rights as men have on this green earth." <br /><br />Text: <br />March for ERA<br />Noon Saturday May 2 Raleigh<br /><br />Carolinians and friends will be marching to the grounds of the State Capitol in Raleigh to celebrate eight years of working "shoulder to shoulder" for E.R.A. ratification and the basic justice which E.R.A. represents. s [sic] <br /><br />Those participating in the "rally in Raleigh" will be making a statement of E.R.A. support in North Carolina and other states. They will be delivering the message that "The dream still lives. The hope will never die." <br /><br />If you wish to participate, call the Virginia Council office for details and directions.

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.
