Mayors of Five States Recommend Municipal Suffrage for Women
women's suffrage, municipalities, Catharine Waugh McCulloch
In Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Kansas in 1909, women were already allowed to vote in municipal elections. McCulloch wrote to the mayors of cities in these states asking their opinions about women's suffrage, and 140 mayors replied, most of which were in favor of it. In this booklet, McCulloch shows that women's suffrage, once enacted, will be liked by men, women, civilians, and mayors alike. At the end of the booklet, on page 41, McCulloch also delves into a series of other laws in these five states that protect women and children in different ways, showing that women's suffrage gives way to other beneficial laws in society.
