O'Sullivan argues that wage-earning women need the right to vote to ensure equal pay for equal work and working men should also want women's suffrage to protect their interests against the threat of cheap labor by women and children.
The National American Woman Suffrage Association published a series of circulars written by well-known activists on the social, political, and economic reasons why women should be granted the right to vote. The circulars, along with novelties such as buttons, stationery, playing cards and other materials to advertise the suffrage movement, were included in a mail-order "Catalog of Suffrage Literature and Supplies" produced by the NAWSA Literature Committee.

Originally written by Katharine Houghton Hepburn, member of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, this statement was reprinted in a leaflet published by the Michigan Equal Suffrage Association, to lobby for women's suffrage in an upcoming state election. The statement addresses changes in women's social roles and employment because of industrialization and argues for women's right to vote to reflect their new roles and present conditions.

Women social reformers
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.
Thomas received her bachelor's degree from Cornell University in 1877 and that same year, was the first woman to enter Johns Hopkins University at the graduate level. At Bryn Mawr, she was the Dean of the College and the first Professor of English. Thomas is best known for helping to facilitate the admission of women to the Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1893. She raised thousands of dollars for the National American Woman Suffrage Association and, in 1908, became the first president of the National College Women's Equal Suffrage League.

Addams discusses the growing Progressive Party, formed by Theodore Roosevelt and its potential to spark reform for industrial workers. She uses Roosevelt as someone who has the power and personality to "gather up the sense of social wrong and direct it into channels of redress, to focus the scattered moral energy of our vast nation and to turn it into practical reform."
