Meredith enumerates the ways in which the lack of suffrage impacts women, including marriage and custody laws, inheritance laws, child labor laws, child literacy, and education. 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.
