Suffrage snapshots

This work is a collection of a few comments made in Judge magazine to express the lighter side of the so-called "woman question." Ida Husted Harper compiled this work stressing over the fact that woman's pursuit of the voting right is not something to joke about.

Ida Husted Harper (1851-1931) was an American author, journalist, columnist, and suffragist. She started her outstanding career as a journalist and women's suffrage advocate in Indiana when she served as secretary of the National Woman Suffrage Association. Harper became a central figure in the women's suffrage movement in the U.S. and wrote columns on women's issues for numerous newspapers across the United States. For over a decade, Harper wrote a column called "A Woman's Thoughts" which was later called "A Woman's Opinions", for the Terre Haute Saturday Evening Mail that concerned conventional women's matters such as marriage, family, education, careers, food, and fashion, but her columns also discussed significant issues such as temperance, women's rights, and women's suffrage.
