BROADSIDE: "Success: The Map Proves It".
Small Leaflet: "Votes for Women A Success The Map Proves It.” Harrisburg: Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Association; N.W.S. Publishing Co., [ca. 1915].
Small leaflet: 5-1/8"x 7"; printed one side on light brown stock; union slug present; a number of chips and short tears to the edges; about very good.
The leaflet prints a map of the United States showing those states with woman suffrage, with no suffrage, partial suffrage and presidential suffrage with the legend "WOMEN VOTE IN ALL THE WHITE STATES / WHY NOT IN THIS STATE?" Those states with equal suffrage are listed with the date woman received the vote. The leaflet points out that though four million women vote in equal suffrage states, those states command only 91 electoral votes. At the bottom appears the legend (seemingly peculiar to the 1915 Pennsylvania referendum campaign), "VOTE FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE / Give this to a friend and ask him to vote for it." The NAWSA printed a number of leaflets and broadsides featuring suffrage maps, such as this. They provided, of course, a quick visual summary of the east/west split on woman suffrage.
