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!"

Young Women's Christian Association button
Pinback button <br /><br />The Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) first met in New York City in 1858. While based in Christianity, the YWCA was more focused on social issues, initially affordable housing for working women. It later was active in the labor union movement and supporting race relations. <br /><br />The YWCA of Richmond, the South’s oldest chapter, formed in 1887 and soon opened a boarding house. It later established a day nursery, kindergarten, gymnasium and Travelers Aid Society. <br /><br />The Phyllis Wheatley Branch of the Richmond YWCA, found in 1912, was one of the first African-American chapters in the United States. Today, the YWCA of Richmond educates about domestic and sexual violence. It operates women’s emergency shelters and a child development center.

It will mark the beginning of a nation-wide campaign t give World Cooperation its rightful place as the foremost issue in the coming election campaign. If we can't stop war, nothing else matters. Another World War would be the end of the white civilization.<br /><br />By the use of posters and fliers and through meetings, religious services, parades and other features, the people of America will register their determination that <em>Isolation is not acceptable</em> as an American policy in foreighn affairs and that only through <em>Cooperation can </em>we <i>Stop War."</i>

Women's Work and War
Women's Work and War: A Bulletin of Facts Concerning the Employment of Women to Meet the Deficit of Man Power in Our National Industrial Emergency. Published by the National Women's Trade Union League. <br /><br />p.1 "The working women are eager to help win the war. To make their help effective is a problem which must be generally discussed. Therefore this Bulletin."<br /><br />"The United States is now calling into action two armies. The first is an army of men, trained and equipped for service. It carries with it all the splendid panoply of war.<br /><br />The second is a woman's army. It is neither trained nor equipped, nor conscious of its unity. Yet to give good service it must be all those things. <br /><br />The women's army is as necessary to us at this time as the men's army, it will feed and clothe and munition the men in the trenches. As more men are called to the training camps women will step into their places in the shops, thus constantly increasing the army of women upon whose shoulders will rest the whole economic burden of this country."<br /><br />p.4 The NWTUL advocated for reasonable standards for women workers on Government contracts. This pamphlet outlines those standards as follows:<br /><br />"Adult labor.<br />Wages-- <br />1. The highest rate prevailing in the industry effected.<br />2. Equal pay for equal work.<br />3. Trades without wage standards to be handled by an adjustment committee.<br />4. Adjustment committee to handle all wage questions and to keep all wages in fair proportion to increasing cost of living.<br />The Eight Hour Day.<br />One day rest in seven.<br />Prohibition of night work for women.<br />Standards of sanitation and fire protection.<br />Protection against over-fatigue and industrial diseases.<br />Prohibition of tenement house labor.<br />Exemption from call into industry of women whose small children need their care.<br />Exemption from call into industry of women two months before and after child birth."<br /><br />Note postmark promoting food conservation during World War I. <br />"Food will win the war. Don't waste it."

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."

On either side of here are men dressed in coattails stand on either side of her. The man to the left is pulling on her left arm and has "Dem" written on his chest. The man to her right is pulling on her right arm and has "Rep" written on his chest. At the bottom of the image is text that reads: "In the Hands of Her Friends"]<br /><br />The cover illustration is by C. D. Batchelor <br /><br />[Image Description: The second image is of a woman in a neoclassical white dress with her arms stretched out above her head and her fingers spread. Branches grow from her fingertips into a fruit bearing tree above her head. Behind her is a neoclassical building. On either side of her are the words "Woman Suffrage".]<br /><br />This image is from an original painting by Evelyn Rumsey Cary. The text at the bottom of the image, which was well known to suffragists, was taken from Proverbs 31:31.<br /><br /><em>“Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.”</em>

"The Dress of the Hour on Exhibitition at the Convention Hall. A Marked Innovation -- The Dress of the Hour Representing the Spirit of the Times. The Woman of Today demands pratical--sane--frocks....For travel, for rest, for sports wear....For business for dress, for work."<br /><br />Advertisement for Victrola and Victor Records as an aid to Americanization. Educational Department, Victor Talking Machine Co."<br /><br />"'Americanization through music' A slogan of the hour. <br />Music is an universal language that needs no interpreter. It is the one common ground and most natural approach to the foreigner in welding him to the spirit of true Americanism.<br />A great movement is now sweeping the country to make firm and lasting the process of the melting pot,--to bring securely into the fold of American citizenry our adopted brothers from other lands....Song, universal in its appeal, is a deep and moving force. The Community Singing idea of war days must be perpetuated. It is productive of immeasurable good in this wholesome movement of Americanization. Nothing is more unifying and democratic than the group singing of old familiar and patriotic songs. Sing them with stirring band accompaniment,--strong, correct, inspiring!"<br /><br />Suggested song titles include "America," "Star Spangled Banner," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms," "Annie Laurie," and "Flow Gently Sweet Afton."
