Description
An account of the resource
The collection of more than 250 postcards and stamps demonstrates the popularity of this medium and the types of arguments both for and against suffrage. The cards illustrate the perceived threat to traditional gender roles, the growing violence of the suffrage movement primarily in England, and the way in which women were mobilizing to challenge conventional political and social responsibilities. The collection also includes a selection of printed photographic postcards distributed after the March 3, 1913 parade in Washington, D.C., as well as a series of photo cards published by the Women’s Social and Political Union and the Women’s Freedom League to highlight their officers.

An account of the resource
The Portland Transcript was published weekly from 1849 to 1910. Its tagline was "An independent family journal of literature, news, &c."
This issue contains an article entitled "Nathaniel Hawthorne on women's rights." In his short statement (p. 221) the author contends that women should remain within their own proper sphere: "Her place is at man's side. Her office, that of sympathizer; the unreserved, unquestioning believer . . . . The heart of true womanhood knows where its own sphere is, and never seeks to stray beyond it."
