Title
Pamphlet: Constitutional Argument for Woman Suffrage by Mrs. M. Vater Longley. [Circa 1910]
Description
The author reviews sections of the Constitution to make the argument that the individual articles and overall document should not be treated as gender specific. Men and women are equally interested in issues that impact them socially, economically, and politically, and should be able to utilize their unique perspectives to create an effective government.
