National American Woman Suffrage Association CollectionCollection of 1,935 digitized items representing newspapers, books, pamphlets, scrapbooks, and proceedings from the meetings of various women’s organizations that document the fight for suffrage. Users should note that the collection mirrors the biases of NAWSA's membership. For the most part, it represents the concerns of well-educated, middle- and upper-class white women living in the North, and especially in New England. There is little in the collection to document the role of Southern women or women of color. Working-class women receive a slightly larger share of attention, but, for the most part, the collection details the experiences of the affluent white women who formed the suffrage campaign's leadership cadre.
