About This Item
Washington D.C., 1912. 8vo (9" x 6"),self wrappers. 41, [7] pp. Original envelope (6.25" x 10.5"), with a facsimile of Edward Taylor's signature. CONDITION: Toned, minor chipping to final page, a few small tears to right margin with no losses; otherwise very good. Some soiling to envelope, chips and cracks to opening with no loss to text. A pamphlet printing of a speech by Representative Edward T. Taylor of Colorado making the political, social, and moral argument for women's suffrage based on nearly 20 years of experience with the women voters of his home state. He notes that "An ounce of fact is worth a ton of theory, and one actual result of equal suffrage is worth more than all the theoretical antisuffrage speeches since the dawn of history."
The speech begins with a litany of social improvement laws that have resulted from efforts by women, from fraud- and drug-prevention laws to child welfare and the creation of the bureau of labor statistics. Taylor addresses various questions and concerns about women's suffrage which the example of Colorado can answer: "Do the bad women of Colorado vote?"; "Are women office seekers?"; and "Have Colorado women lost their womanliness or deteriorated morally?" Taylor predicts that within ten or fifteen years-it would, in fact, be just eight-all female citizens of America will be able to vote.
