I am decidedly opposed to male suffrage
Description
An account of the resource
I am decidedly opposed to male suffrage and the following are some of my reasons. <br /><br />First: A man, for possibly an hour each year in order to cast his ballot, would be compelled to neglect his family and his business. <br /><br />Secondly: Politics corrupt men; therefore, they should not be allowed to vote. <br /><br />Thirdly: They have had the elective franchise a long time, and still intemperance and licentiousness prevail, therefore, they should be disfranchised. <br /><br />Fourthly: it creates family discord, for a wife once refused to sew on her husband’s shirt buttons, because he voted the Republican ticket, while she was a Democrat. <br /><br />Fifthly: it engenders neighborhood quarrels, for a man once refused to vote for another man’s brother, and it produced a coolness between the two families. <br /><br />Sixthly: Very few men in some districts attend school meetings to vote for school officers, which proves that men do not want to vote, therefore, the whole sex should be disfranchised. -- Emily P. Collins, 1884 <br /><br />Who was Emily? Read on... <br /><br />Emily Collins began organizing for voting rights as soon as she heard about the Seneca Falls convention. By the end of 1848 her western New York town had sent a petition signed by 62 men and women, to the legislature. That was a lot of names for a tiny town!<br /><br />They were laughed at, but she was not dissuaded. She moved to Rochester, and later to New Orleans and then Connecticut, and she organized women there too. She was living in Hartford when she wrote this 👆piece, which ran in a San Francisco feminist newspaper. <br /><br />Collins concluded her list by noting drolly that it was a critique of women voters in Wyoming, and it convinced a Massachusetts legislator to oppose suffrage. In the 1880s Mass women were pushing to expand school suffrage to all municipal elections. It didn't happen. #suffrage100

The position of the Times on the question of woman suffrage has long been known. It is totally opposed to the extension of suffrage on the grounds that it would not benefit the women in any single way and would tend to disorganize society. -- @<a href="https://twitter.com/nytopinion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytopinion</a>

An account of the resource
With the New York referendum looming, The Crisis published its second special issue on women’s suffrage in August 1915. The cover was an arresting composite of Abraham Lincoln & Sojourner Truth. 🧵 <br /><br />26 essays by men and women took up almost the entire issue. Even regular features like “Men of the Month†were devoted to women. [<a href="https://dailysuffragist.omeka.net/exhibits/show/black-suffragists/item/382" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read about @thecrisismag's first suffrage issue, in 1912 👉</a> ]<br /><br />The summer of 1915 was an optimistic moment for voting rights. The Supreme Court had just struck down grandfather clauses in a case from Oklahoma, and women in New York were still optimistic about their chances of winning the vote. (See yesterday’s post.)<br /><br />Later, the Supreme Court win would turn out to be toothless - Oklahoma grandfathered its grandfather clause, automatically adding all white men to the rolls while giving Black men 12 days to register. And women would lose the New York referendum, resoundingly. <br /><br />But the clarity of @<a href="https://twitter.com/thecrisismag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">thecrisismag</a> special issue endures. It’s an artifact of how the nation’s most prominent Black men and women argued for the inextricability of race and sex at the ballot box. <br /><br />Highlights include: “Many colored men doubt the wisdom of women suffrage because they fear that it will increase the number of our political enemies.†She defends suffragists based on 40 years experience in the movement, asserting: “We can afford to follow those women.†<br /><br />Mary Church Terrell & her husband Judge Robert Terrell make overlapping arguments about the necessity of supporting voting rights for all. She points out sharply that anything less risks weakening the 15th Amendment. <br /><br />Judge Terrell quotes Senator Benjamin Wade, a radical Republican who supported universal suffrage: “I have a contempt I cannot name for the man who would demand rights for himself that he is not willing to grant to every one else.†<br /><br />Nannie Helen Burroughs, leader of the Women’s Convention of the Baptist Church, is blunt: “The Negro Church means the Negro woman. Without her, the race could not properly support five hundred churches in the whole world. Today they have 40,000 churches in the United States.â€<br /><br />Fittingly, poet/novelist/diplomat James Weldon Johnson has the most engagingly wry essay. He begins: “There is one thing very annoying about the cause of Woman Suffrage and that is the absurdity of the arguments against it which one is called upon to combat." <br /><br />The fight for the vote began so long before John Lewis, of blessed memory. We will continue it until every person’s vote counts, no matter how long that takes. We are up to the challenge.

It took a huge capital investment - the press, the paper, the subscription list, the cost of delivery, for starters. It was so necessary that all the leading suffragists did it, but so expensive and laborious they didn’t usually do it very long. Most of these papers didn’t survive more than a few years. But the mainstream press wasn’t going to publish what women activists wanted to say, so they cultivated their own audiences and printed their own papers. <br /><br />There are too many to name here; above are just the ones mentioned by @DailySuffragist over the past 11 months. Reading them is thrilling, and easy - the ones that survive are mostly digitized.

An account of the resource
Years before W.E.B.DuBois devoted a special issue of The Crisis to women’s suffrage, Adella Hunt Logan published a comprehensive argument for the vote in <a href="http://coloredamerican.org/?page_id=70" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Colored American</a>, the most widely read African-American publication of the day. 🧵 <br /><br />Adella Hunt Logan was an active and influential suffragist for 20 years. She was the only African-American life member of NAWSA. When NAWSA barred Black women from conventions, she and Georgia Stewart, who could also pass, went and reported what transpired. <br /><br />Adella taught for years at Booker T. Washington’s Tuskegee Institute. She was a mainstay of the Tuskegee Woman’s Club, founded by Margaret Murray Washington. As both a clubwoman and a professor, Adella initiated extensive suffrage activities at Tuskegee. <br /><br />She gave lectures; she organized “lantern shows†about suffrage foremothers like Sojourner Truth; she coached the debate team, so suffrage was their topic. S<br /><br />he was training them to be emissaries, explains Rosalyn Terborg-Penn.<br /><br />Voting in Alabama couldn’t have felt imminent to Adella’s students at Tuskegee. But many of them would live and work outside the South, in places where women were winning some voting rights. She made sure they were prepared. <br /><br />Her 1905 essay in the Colored American asked bluntly: <br /><br />“If white American women, with all their natural and acquired advantages, need the ballot....how much more do Black Americans, male and female need the strong defense of a vote to help secure them their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?†<br /><br />Tragically, Adella died by suicide in 1915 at the age of 52. <br /><br />Historian Adele Logan Alexander is Adella’s granddaughter, and the source of much of the rich detail on her suffrage activity. We can read more in her new book, <a href="https://bookshop.org/books/princess-of-the-hither-isles-a-black-suffragist-s-story-from-the-jim-crow-south/9780300242607" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Princess of the Hither Isles.</a> <br /><br />The cover is a haunting portrait of Adella by the African-American painter William Edouard Scott, completed posthumously. #Suffrage100 #BlackSuffragists #CenturyofStruggleÂ

Description
An account of the resource
It’s jarring to be reading about the revolutionary activities of Susan B. Anthony or Ida B. Wells and come upon them referred to as Miss Anthony, Miss Wells. It feels demeaning, and anachronistic - though of course it was unexceptional at the time. [Honorific thread.] <br /><br />The advent of Ms. as a marriage-neutral honorific is a story likely well-known to @DailySuffragist readers - and memorably told by <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Ex_Libris/hxcE7vJdgZkC?hl=en&gbpv=0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anne Fadiman</a> in her essay “The His’er Problem.†<br /><br />But it turns out that Ms. appeared as early as 1901! @<a href="https://twitter.com/bgzimmer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bgzimmer</a> explained in 2009 that it was proposed as a way to avoid the faux pas of incorrect address, and even got a little bit of attention at the time. (Can we have the On Language column back, please @<a href="https://twitter.com/NYTmag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytmag</a>?) <br /><br /><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/25/magazine/25FOB-onlanguage-t.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Zimmer describes</a> how it hovered at the edge of feminist consciousness before Sheila Michaels led the crusade in the 1970s. <br /><br />The Times was recalcitrant, though. 👇for the pretty <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/06/insider/1986-ms-joins-the-timess-vocabulary.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">marvelous story</a> of how women finally forced Abe Rosenthal to cave - in 1986! <br /><br />I wonder what would have happened had it caught on more in 1901. It might have been like Bloomers/dress reform - a good idea that was abandoned when it seemed more trouble than it was worth. Or we might have been Ms. much sooner!🤷 #Suffrage100Â

An account of the resource
16 women really did walk to Washington to participate in the original Women’s March, on the occasion of Woodrow Wilson’s 1913 inauguration. <br /><br />“General†Rosalie Jones led the contingent, which left New York City in February. She’s at far left w/the megaphone. 📣🧵 <br /><br />They walked for 20 days, speaking and distributing suffrage leaflets as they went. It's 200 miles now and it was 200 miles then, but the footwear was a lot less forgiving. This horse and carriage were their traveling billboard.<br /><br />Rosalie tested this publicity stunt just 2 months prior, leading a contingent from NYC to Albany to present a petition to the governor. (By 1912, NY was an outlier in denying women the vote: most western states had full suffrage; in others we could vote in local elections.) <br /><br />Rosalie's mother tried to insist she turn back -- not just for fear of blisters. Rosalie was from a wealthy family and her mother belonged to the NY Anti-Suffrage Association. 🙀 She clearly didn’t know her daughter very well: Rosalie refused. She made it to Albany, and later DC. <br /><br />The march succeeded: it heightened anticipation of the DC rally and demonstrated that women weren’t too frail for a grueling trek. It also helped a working woman prove herself: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1981/10/10/obituaries/emma-bugbee-93-reporter-55-years.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reporter Emma Bugbee</a> of the NY Trib, who joined the march to get the story

Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin was an incredible organizer of women. In 1879 she started the Boston Kansas Relief Assoc. to raise money to support Exodusters - the first African-Americans to leave the South en masse. <br /><br />She helped Lucy Stone & Julia Ward Howe found the American Woman Suffrage Assoc in Boston, after the split with Stanton & Anthony. She was a charter member of the Massachusetts School Suffrage Assoc, organizing women to use their first small opportunity to vote in school board elections. <br /><br />Josephine was born in Boston & educated in Salem b/c her parents refused to send her to Boston’s segregated schools. <br /><br />She was 16 when she married George Ruffin. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1869 (!) & became Boston’s 1st Black judge. As a member of the state legislature, he supported woman suffrage. <br /><br />After George died, Josephine expanded her career as an editor and publisher. She wrote for the Courant, a Black weekly, and was an active member of the New England Women’s Press Assoc, which she helped integrate. <br /><br />In 1890 she and her daughter Florida started The Woman’s Era. <br /><br />The Woman's Era was the first newspaper by and for African-American women. Josephine was editor & publisher. <br /><br />In 1894 they expanded to national distribution, creating a crucial mouthpiece for the women's club movement Josephine was helping to launch. <br /><br />Tomorrow: the movement.

Ida B Wells didn’t love being a teacher, but as she built an adult life in Memphis, she began working as a reporter. Realizing that owning & editing her own paper was the only way to make a living as a journalist, Wells invested in The Memphis Free Speech and Headlight. Thread. <br /><br />Her new career ended her old one: after protesting in print the “few and utterly inadequate buildings” for Black students in Memphis schools, as well as corruption on the school board, Wells' teaching contract was not renewed. She had found her calling. <br /><br />9Ida B Wells' paper Free Speech was in demand in rural towns, where often 1 person would read it aloud in public. When the owners learned that vendors were cheating illiterate buyers by selling them the wrong paper, they started printing Free Speech on distinctive pink paper. <br /><br />What made Ida B Wells so fearless?
