Pamphlet : A new fashioned argument for woman suffrage. Address at the college evening of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, Buffalo. October 17, 1908
Description
Martha Carey Thomas was the second president of Bryn Mawr College from 1894 until 1922. In this address, she argues for financial and social equality for women. Thomas discusses the increasing presence of women in the workplace and that without the vote, working women will continue to be subject to laws that were often discriminatory and capricious.
