War Aims: War Messages to The American People
"War Aims: War Messages to The American People" was written by Carrie Chapman Catt and provides a critical analysis of the United States' failure to give women the right to vote while other countries have far surpassed America in this regard. <br /><br />"Give to the world the final pledge of sincerity in American war aims. Give women of this land the honor other nations have bestowed upon theirs. Make democracy triumphant at home that the Republic may war upon its treacherous enemy autocracy without a spot on the national escutcheon. Do it now. <strong>Support the Federal Suffrage Amendment!</strong>"<br /><br />This booklet concludes with a poem by Robert Burns, written November 1792:<br /><br />"While Europe's eye is fixed on mighty things<br />The fate of empires and the fall of kings;<br />While quacks of state much each produce his plan,<br />And Even children lisp the Rights of man;<br />Amid this mighty fuss just let me mention,<br />The Rights of Women merit some attention."

World Cooperation Campaign. Stop War -- Cooperate [promotional material]
Publication of the National Council for Prevention of War to promote the 1924 Campaign for World Cooperation. Under the direction of Frederick Libby, this group organized various anti-war campaigns.<br /><br />The World Cooperation Campaign in 1924 marked the tenth anniversary of the outbreak of World War I. <br /><br />"'STOP WAR! COOPERATE!' will be the keynote of the observance in America of the Tenth Anniversary of the Outbreak of the WOrld War, July 26-27. 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>

War Messages to The American People: Why Men Need Equal Suffrage for Women
"War Messages to The American People: Why Men Need Equal Suffrage for Women" is a booklet written by A. Caswell Ellis and details four key points regarding why American men need equal suffrage for women. According to Ellis, "<em>First</em>, the men of this nation must grant equal suffrage to women fully, freely and cheerfully <em>at once, </em>in order to square their nation's acts with its declarations...<em>Second</em>, we need woman's suffrage to protect us and our government from our own one-sided masculine view of life...<em>Third</em>, men need to grant to women the privileges and duties of citizenship in order to strengthen the weakening family bond and enrich and eleveate the home life for themselves and their children...<em>Fourth</em>, and most far reaching of all, man must grant equal suffrage to woman in order to refine his own sense of justice which is inevitably dulled by the continued toleration of any acts of injustice."

Citizenship Education at the University
This article, "CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION AT THE UNIVERSITY," appeared in the <em>University of Virginia News Letter,</em> Vol. III, No. 4 on October 23,1920. It describes the new department of Citizenship Education under the Bureau of Extension of the University of Virginia, the first of its kind in the United States. This article also discusses the two-day Schools sponsored in Roanoke and Leesburg, and a related program in Richmond.<br /><br />The department of Citizenship Education was the first of its kind in the United States, and was active in educating newly enfranchised women on the processes and responsibilities of Citizenship.<br /><br />"Every school of learning,...if it is functioning properly, has for its fundamental aim, training for Citizenship...[Herbert]Spencer defined education as a preparation for complete living or a preparation for Citizenship, and defined a good citizen as one who know how to live."

The Closing of Occupations To Women
This leaflet was created by the Woman's Party to describe the important role the Woman's Party in campaigning for industrial equality as evidenced by increasing legislation restricting the industrial opportunities of women. <br /><br />"The effort to bar women from political equality with men was of little consequence compared to the present growing effort to keep them from industrial equality. No part of the Woman's Party equality program is so important, we believe, and so far-reaching in its effect as its demand for economic equality."

How Virginia Laws Discriminate Against Women
This leaflet entitled, "How Virginia Laws Discriminate Against Women," was compiled by Burnita Shelton Mathews, the Legal Research Secretary of the Legal Research Department of the National Woman's Party in 1922. As described on the back cover, this leaflet outlines discrimination against women in the Virginia law, which is of "vital importance to each woman in this state, for decisions which affect her future, and the welfare of her children, may be made on the basis of these very laws."<br /><br />"Fathers are given practically complete control over their children and mothers almost no control.<br /><br />A married woman's property is presumed to belong to her husband, unless proof to the contrary is shown.<br /><br />Grounds for divorce are unequal.<br /><br />Women can not serve on juries.<br /><br />Women are not admitted on equal terms to the state university."

[Letter to Members of the National Woman's Party from Alice Paul]
This letter from Alice Paul, National Chairman of the National Woman's Party, to members of the National Woman's Party acts as an invitation to the Woman's Party's final convention <span>to be held in Washington, D.C., February 15 - 19, 1921. D</span>uring this convention it was to be decided whether the Woman's Party "shall go out of existence or take up a new program." Furthermore, this letter requests that members donate $5 towards the cost of the convention and "so that [the Woman's Party] may go out of existence or turn to some new work, with banners flying and head aloft..." <br /><br />"When we sent out our first appeal for funds in 1913 the task before us - that of changing the United States constitution so that women might vote everywhere in this country - seemed a task that held little hope of accomplishment for years to come. Now that it is accomplished, all who contributed, whether in personal service or in money, must feel that their help was not given in vain."
Paul, Alice

The Dark and Dangerous Side of Woman Suffrage [Anti-suffrage publication]
A large format publication which gathers quotations from feminists and supporters of suffrage. These quotations manifest the "dark and dangerous side of woman suffrage" which is argued to be a desire for social revolution.<br /><br />Subject headings for quotations include: <br />Downfall of the Home, Degradation of Marriage, Fatherless Children, A "Third Sex" in Politics, The Case for Woman Suffrage, The Woman's Bible, Socialism Dovetails Feminism.<br /><br />From the introduction:<br />"Much Feminist literature is scarcely fit for publication. The following authentic quotations are selected as among the least obnoxious, to indicate, in some slight degree, the inescapable "next step" after woman suffrage.<br />If YOU are truly concerned with the welfare of your Family, your Children, your Country, do not make the mistake of ignoring the REAL MEANING of the demand for "Votes for Women."

America First [postcard]
Postcard advertising the sale of posters, cards, and postcards printed with this anti-war message. Part of a campaign by the National Council for Prevention of War.<br /><br />Text:
<p>America First<br />Not merely in matters material, but in things of the spirit.<br />Not merely in science, inventions, motors, and skyscrapers, but also in ideals, principles, character.<br />Not merely in the calm assertion of rights, but in the glad assumption of duties.<br />Not flaunting her strength as a giant, but bending in helpfulness over a sick and wounded world like a Good Samaritan.<br />Not in splendid isolation, but in courageous cooperation.<br />Not in pride, arrogance, and disdain of other races and peoples, but in sympathy, love, and understanding.<br />Not in treading again the old, worn, bloody pathway which ends inevitably in chaos and disaster, but in blazing a new trail, along which, please God, other nations will follow, into the new Jerusalem where wars shall be no more. <br />Some day some nation must take that path -- unless we are to lapse once again into utter barbarism -- and that honor I covet for my beloved America.<br />And so, in that spirit and with these hopes, I say with all my heart and soul, "AMERICA FIRST."<br /><br />From a Sermon by Bishop G. Ashton Oldham, in Washington, D.C., September 7, 1924.<br /><br /></p>
