  • "The Suffrage Collection is comprised largely of printed materials such as pamphlets, newspaper clippings, petitions, legislative documents, articles, periodicals, and books pertaining to the enfranchisement of women. There are also manuscript materials including unpublished writings and correspondence. Photographs document suffrage parades, demonstrations, groups, and individuals. Suffrage memorabilia and ephemera includes broadsides, fliers, cartoons, postcards, buttons, pins, stickers, banners, playing cards, songbooks, a novel, poetry, scrapbooks, and a cookbook. The collection is arranged in three series: United States, England; and International. Both the U.S. and England sections include material documenting the work of suffrage organizations, such as the National American Woman Suffrage Association, the National Women's Party, and the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies in England. There are also biographical materials, speeches, photographs, and writings by and about prominent suffragists including Carrie Chapman Catt, Jane Addams, Alice Stone Blackwell, Ida Husted Harper, Gertrude Foster Brown, Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence, Emmeline Pankhurst, Anna Howard Shaw, and many others. The U.S. section includes files on suffrage campaigns in individual states (Massachusetts and New York are especially well represented), and congressional documents dating from 1867 to 1945. Anti-suffrage material includes articles, pamphlets, clippings, memorabilia, and publications of groups opposed woman suffrage."
