Address by M. Carey Thomas, President of Bryn Mawr College, at the College Evening of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, Buffalo, October 17, 1908. Thomas argues that the increasing presence of women in the workplace makes woman suffrage ever more necessary. Without it, working women are subject to laws often discriminatory and capricious. She notes, for instance, that in Italy a woman may teach and be married; not so in the United States. "Woman suffrage is first of all a woman’s question. We cannot remain indifferent. The issues involved are so overwhelmingly important…" (Franklin, p. 142 (five stars). Krichmar 2055)
