Dispelling the myth that women became involved in partisan politics
only after they obtained the vote, this study uses contemporary
newspaper sources to show that women were active in the party
struggle long before 1920. Although their role was initially
limited to attending rallies and hosting picnics, they gradually
began to use their pens and voices to support party tickets. By the
late 19th century, women spoke at party functions and organized
all-female groups to help canvass neighborhoods and get out the
vote. In the early suffrage states of the West, they voted in
increasing numbers and even held a few offices. Women were
particularly active, this book shows, in the minor reformist
parties--Populist, Prohibitionist, Socialist, and Progressive--but
eventually came to play a role in the major parties as well.
Prominent suffrage leaders, such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
Susan B. Anthony, entered the partisan arena in order to promote
their cause. By the time the suffrage amendment was ratified, women
were deeply involved in the mainstream political process.
