A leader in the successful fight for woman suffrage in Texas, Jane
Yelvington McCallum (1878-1957) left an absorbing written record of
an exceptionally productive life. McCallum was a wife, mother, and
clubwoman; unlike most, she was also a suffrage leader, lobbyist,
journalist, publicist, Democratic Party worker, and secretary of
state. A Texas Suffragist brings to print two of Jane McCallum's
most important unpublished diaries, which cover the period from
October 1916 through December 1919. They chronicle the struggle of
Texas suffragists to win the vote from the viewpoint of one of the
movement's most active participants, and provide insight into a
range of progressive causes-including prohibition, honest
government, and the independence and integrity of the University of
Texas-that women reformers supported in the World War I era. Editor
Janet G. Humphrey has supplemented McCallum's diaries with a
selection of her letters, autobiographical fragments, and sketches
that help round out the story of her personal and public life
through 1919.
