Description
Mary Ware Dennett was a suffragist, artist, and advocate of birth control and sex education. She served as the field secretary for the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association and the corresponding secretary of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. From 1910 until 1915 when she resigned, Dennett was responsible for NAWSA's literature department, which produced and distributed millions of pamphlets and leaflets, including this flier.
Dennett argues the men do not have to spend time justifying the many reasons why they would be qualified voters and suffragists should not valuable spend time "giving promises and proof that women will use the vote to good advantage when they get it."
