Women's Suffrage Collection

Women’s suffrage is the right of women to vote in political elections. The movement gained popularity around the world during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly in England and the United States. The Women’s Suffrage Collection contains booklets, pamphlets, postcards, correspondence, and fliers on women’s right to vote dating from post 1890 to approximately 1922. National movements, such as those in the United States, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand are represented, as well as the efforts in Ohio to add Amendment 23 to the state constitution. Materials represent both pro-suffrage and anti-suffrage points of view.
