The Suffragist was the official newspaper of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, later the National Woman's Party, from 1913 until 1921.Created to generate financial and public support for the federal suffrage amendment, the newspaper reported on the status of the suffrage amendment and state legislative activities.
It featured weekly political cartoons, many by artist Nina Allender, as well as regular features to highlight suffrage activities throughout the country, major events, and leaders. In 1917, when the NWP began picketing the White House, were arrested and put in jail, the newspaper served as a valuable tool to publicize the treatment of political prisoners.
