Lydia and David Child, abolitionists and writers, established the newspaper in 1840. The Standard advocated for the rights of slaves throughout the country, as well as suffrage for women.

The Emancipator was one of several publications by the American Anti-Slavery Society. First published in May 1833 in New York City, the title of the publication changed several times, as did its editors and publishers. When Joshua Leavitt became the editor in 1840, the Emancipator became a leading abolitionist newspaper. He focused on the political and moral issues related to the abolition of slavery.
In December 1841 the Free American, the official paper of the Massachusetts Abolition Society, merged with the Emancipator and the editors renamed it the Emancipator and Free American.
The Emancipator ran for 18 years and became one of the most widely circulated antislavery newspapers in the country.

The Suffragist was the official newspaper of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, later the National Woman's Party, from 1913 until 1921.Created to generate financial and public support for the federal suffrage amendment, the newspaper reported on the status of the suffrage amendment and state legislative activities.
It featured weekly political cartoons, many by artist Nina Allender, as well as regular features to highlight suffrage activities throughout the country, major events, and leaders. In 1917, when the NWP began picketing the White House, were arrested and put in jail, the newspaper served as a valuable tool to publicize the treatment of political prisoners.

The Liberator
The Liberator (1831-1865) was an abolitionist newspaper founded by William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp. The newspaper called for the "Immediate and complete emancipation of all slaves." The Liberator also advocated for women's rights by printing editorials, petitions, convention calls, speeches, and other material to promote women's equality. The motto was "Our Country is the World, our Countrymen are all Mankind."
Over its 35 year run, Garrison published 1,820 issues, ending in 1865 after the end of the Civil War. This issue was the newspaper's final issue. It includes a poem by a woman identified as Carrie from Brooklyn, New York, entitled "A Farewell to the Liberator." There are also tributes to Garrison and to the paper.

The author asserts that with North Carolina Senate postponing a vote on the suffrage amendment until 1921, and other states against calling their legislatures to consider the amendment, and the Speaker Walker of the Tennessee Legislature claiming he has enough votes to defeat ratification, suffragists need a miracle to pass the amendment in 1920.
Short article: "Suffrage is Defeated in North Carolina" discusses the vote to table the amendment until the next regular session in 1921.
