This leaflet has not been folded so is quite fresh and in fine condition overall. The entry of the United States into World War I caused a rift between the Woman's Party (Alice Paul et al.) which adamantly refused to endorse the war and the National American Woman's Suffrage Association (Carrie Chapman Catt, Anna Howard Shaw et al.) who supported the American War effort. Despite this rift, the suffrage organizations continued to press for votes for women at the state and federal level. In 1917 women won the right to full suffrage in New York - the first Eastern state to have women's suffrage. it was an important victory for the movement.

Amiens: Sterne/Presse de l'UFR Clerc Universite Picardie, 1992. First Edition, one of 400 copies only. 8vo; 142pp; gray decorated wrappers printed in white on blue label. In 1989, Professor Claudine Lesage, while doing research on Joseph Conrad (who had visited Polish friends in Hyeres when he first came to the Mediterranean), was shown an unsigned manuscript in English (although EW's ex-libris was present) by the librarian at the Municipal Library in Hyeres. Lesage investigated further and found in the Lewis biography that Wharton did tour the Aegean in 1888 with Teddy and James Van Alen and "Mind" Fearn, American Minister to Greece. Lesage was able to determine the year of the cruise by a reference to the date of Easter in the manuscript. And, although unsigned, the manuscript is most definitely in the hand of Mrs. Wharton. Unlike the other posthumously published Wharton manuscript, FAST AND LOOSE (1977), there was no reference or indication that this account of the cruise existed. The text,… Leer más

Margaret Sangster (1838-1912) was a magazine editor and author who supplied verse, articles and stories to a number of publications. She edited children's and family pages for Hearth and Home and the Christian Intelligencer and was appointed editor of Harper's Bazaar in 1889. She regarded herself as a "Christian leader of women" and was interested in the welfare of girls. Originally opposed to woman suffrage, she changed her views about 1910 because she saw "the helplessness of woman as a competitor in the labor market when she has no voice in the making of the laws affecting her."
