Women in the Bible
Women's rights--Religious aspects
Anti-suffrage commentary focused on The Woman's Bible and the anti-Christian beliefs of suffragists. The author pulls direct quotes from The Woman's Bible.
From the Library of Congress:
In 1895, Elizabeth Cady Stanton published the first edition of "The Woman's Bible," an attempt to amplify, explain, and redefine scriptural references pertaining to women in the basis that these were often used as a rationale to deny women particular rights and privileges. The work was undertaken by a committee and involved searching the both Old and New Testaments for references to women, cutting them out, and then pasting them on blank pages in a book. Then commentaries were added beneath the quotations.
In 1898, "The Woman's Bible" was reprinted, including the addition of a 20-page pamphlet entitled, "Bible and Church Degrade Woman," which contained three essays by Stanton that further explained her position on women in religion. This is one of those essays.

This issue includes information on the International Alliance of Women for Suffrage and Equal Citizenship, international measures of interest to the League, marriage laws in the South, new publications, and domicile, inheritance, and jury service.
The League of Women Voters was founded by Carrie Chapman Catt in 1920 during the convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association 6 months before the ratification of the 19th amendment. The League began as a "mighty political experiment" designed to help 20 million women carry out their new responsibilities as voters. It encouraged them to participate in shaping public policy and to become political, by educating citizens about, and lobbying for, government and social reform legislation.
