How Suffragist Postcards Got Out the Vote
March 31, 2010 by David M. Dismore · 10 Comments
Considering what obvious justice suffrage for women was, it’s surprising that it took 62 years from the birth of the U.S. suffrage movement to come up with an equally simple way of making the case. But in 1910, the National American Woman Suffrage Association distilled their best arguments into one-paragraph gems printed on postcards. Their “Think It Over” series proved to be not only an excellent consciousness-raiser but fundraiser as well, since NAWSA received a commission on each card sold. Here’s a particularly insightful one:
Some are suggesting that these cute cards were the precursor of the modern blog. View the variety of postcards posted on the Ms. blog. What do you think?

I needed some information and was searching on Google.com for it. I visited each of the first 5 pages that came up but didn’t get any relevant result… I then luckily found your diamond message board in the dirt and thought to check it out. This is what I was looking for
Cheers peeps at goddesspublications.net and keep the great effort up.

The investigation sited is indisputable. I will need to say that tom really need to examine his facts and re-think his conclusion. The authorites have spoken plus the rest of will want to respect that. Thanks for that very well laid out into.

Recently in Poland to hear a lot of celebration commemorating the creation of Solidarity. There are many discussions on this subject and some of them are very controversial. I wonder whether in other countries, people know what it is and if they have solidarity on this issue a sentence?

So glad you found posts on my blog to your liking. Thank you for your super-positive comment. Your words are music to my ears, and this blog lets me hear from readers all around the world, as I spin my posts from Maine, USA. Thanks again! Melissa

I really like this post, too, and I commend the work of the suffragists, who after 75 years, finally convinced enough male senators that extending the franchise to them was the right thing to do, especially in a country that wanted to be known as a democracy!
15. Melissa&hellip | September 3rd, 2010 at 8:50 pm
I recall reading and hearing about the Solidarity union in Poland. We in the US had a proud history of union workers’ strength until the air-traffic-controllers union called a strike and then President Ronald Reagan fired all the striking workers. Teachers’ unions have the most clout in the state of Maine where I live. But the Great Recession, which began in 2008 with the faltering of Wall Street giants decimated auto-workers’ unions as the slack economy continues to eat away at consumers’ wallets. … Peace, and thanks for your comment.

Neopets Cheats are very hard to find and I can’t find any Neopets Cheats…
Does anyone know if http://neopets-cheats.us is a good site?

It’s unlikely I would travel from my home in Maine to consult a dentist in Toronto, but I am glad that such a facility, promoted with such fetching graphics, exists for you and yours on Sunday!
