c. 1911, Printed Suffragette / Woman’s Vote Broadsheet titled, “Remarks on the Ladies’ Battle”, by “Alice Stone Blackwell,” published by the National American Woman Suffrage Association, New York, Choice Crisp Near Mint.
This crisp original Printed Broadsheet / Flyer measures about 6.25” x 6.75”, 1 page (printed front and back). Tiny pinhole at top center edge. Written by “Alice Stone Blackwell” it reads, in part;
“Miss Molly Elliot Seawell has expanded into a small book her recent article in the ‘Atlantic Monthly’ against Woman Suffrage. She asserts that if women gain the ballot, they must forfeit ‘enormous property privileges,’ and that all sorts of disasters will follow. Her statements are unqualifiedly denied by the leading legal authorities of the enfranchised States...”.
It continues to quote various Judges and Chief Justices, dismissing the claims made in Seawell’s book. Scarce.
