Title
An appeal to the women of the United States by the National Woman Suffrage and Educational Committee, Washington, D.C. 1871
Description
This appeal urges women to demand equal rights and argues that women were already enfranchised with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments.
The National Woman Suffrage and Educational Committee was created to coordinate the fight for women's rights through the country, distribute publications to assist in those efforts, and appeal for donations for a printing fund.
The committee was comprised of Isabella Beecher Hooker, President; Josephine S. Griffing, Secretary; Mary B. Bowen, Treasurer; Paulina Wright Davis; Ruth Carr Denison; and Susan B. Anthony.
