About This Item
Special handbill with donation slip for Manchester National Society for Women's Suffrage (MNSWS), dated January 1886. 5.5 x 8.5 in. 2 page. The MNSWS was the first women's suffrage organization in England, founded in 1867 by Lydia Becker. Fair condition with yellowed page, tidal line and loss to upper left corner, small tears along top and bottom edge, loss to lower right edge, and crease and tear along top right corner. Recto includes donation form to pledge contributions. Verso lists leadership members for MNSWS along with a call for donations to support planned women's suffrage initiatives in the upcoming year. Very rare. At the time that this description is being written, no copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time.
This fundraising drive was part of a special campaign in 1886 to raise monetary support for planned women's enfranchisement proposals from William Woodall, a member of British Parliament, who also served on the MNSWS Executive Committee. They describe it being a "critical period of the movement" and that funds are needed to "carry on the work at this junction with an energy adequate to the occasion..." It would take 32 more years before married women gained the vote in the 1918 Representation of the People Act, and 10 years more before all women gained the vote.
