Woman's suffrage magazines : did they promote or obstruct the cause? : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This thesis focuses on woman suffrage magazines and how they influenced the right to vote. Three factors are necessary in explaining the movement: the history of the woman's suffrage movement in the United States, the general history of magazines, and the development of women's suffrage magazines particularly, The Lily, The Woman's Journal, and The Woman 's Citizen. The history of each of these magazines was explored in order to explain the specific effects magazines had on the woman's suffrage movement.
